    I would appreciate, if you can share a reproduction script for this issue. This will help narrow down the root cause.

    Wish I could but I have no idea how the problem started. The dialog was working fine and the only thing I can think of is I did a File > Restart and noticed that instead I was being taken to a virgin workspace and having to File > Switch Workspace to get to where I wanted to be. Thereafter I’d never see the selection dialog and MyEclipse would always take me to the same empty workspace. So perhaps the Restart caused the problem?

    It didn’t matter what my settings were in my C:\Program Files\Genuitec\MyEclipse 8.5\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs file. It seemed to completely ignore my SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true setting.

    HTH,

    Dan

    Ok, using -clean fixes the problem for me, I was fine for a couple of days then it happened again. Not sure what I did, or was done to cause the program to get into this state for a second time, but restarting with -clean appears to have worked.

    If I can figure out a way to reproduce the bad state I will let you know.

    I think this is a problem when saving the workspace state, until it is resolved I will continue to use -clean as required.

    Dan, mfkilgore,

    Thank you for your feedback. We are also investigating the root cause here. Let me know if you experienced this issue after creating a maven web project.

    Intriguing question. I was working on mavenizing a web project and adding

    <buildCommand>
        <name>org.maven.ide.eclipse.maven2Builder</name>
    </buildCommand>

    and

    <nature>org.maven.ide.eclipse.maven2Nature</nature>

    to my .project file so that MyEclipse recognized the project as a maven project. I don’t recall if the problem started after making that change, but it may have.

    What makes you suspect it might be related to maven web projects?

    We have identified one such scenario of workbench prompt failing to show during maven repository initialization. This issue has been fixed. This fix will be available in ME 8.6 GA release.

    dankirkd, thanks for the help – I restarted with -clean and it prompted for the workspace again and now works fine.
