Most of the developers may works on more than one eclipse at
same time, one might be with new version of project and another with older
version to compare. Or some of us may working with more than one module or
project at the time in different workspace or different eclipse. When we want
to switch the working eclipse window/eclipse from one to another we might get
confuse and it may kills our time to find correct one. Some time when you copy
the code from one window to another you may copy wrong and it will end up with
critical issue.
To avoid this confusion we may do following settings in
eclipse regards of workspace.
- Show the workspace location in title-bar
- Add custom title for each workspace, this is very useful because given title displays starts of title and easy when switch by alt+tabbing
Show the workspace location in title bar
This can be achieve by two ways.
1) Add “-showlocation" (without the quotes) in the shortcut used to launch Eclipse
2) Add "-showlocation" (without the quotes) eclipse.ini file located inside the eclipse folder
After you follow above step , title-bar will be like below.
Add custom title for each workspace
To get custom title you can specify a name under Window >
Preferences > General > Workspace
After add the custom title , title-bar and alt+tablling will be like below
