I'm not even sure where to look for this issue. What happens, is that when I open Eclipse, it opens a blank workspace. Which, I then have to switch to my current one. This happens every time I open Eclipse now. Any idea where I should look to fix this? (Eclipse Juno)

Huzzah! This fixed it. I'm on Windows, and the config.ini file resides in the configuration folder under the Eclipse main dir. – Ryan Jun 11 '13 at 00:08

Have a look at the
- eclipse.ini in your eclipse installation directory
- shortcut you use to launch eclipse (if there is one).
If any of them contain a -data somePath argument, then eclipse will always open that path as workspace.

Go in Eclipse to Window->Preferences->General->Startup and Shutdown->Workspaces and activate the checkbox "prompt for workspace on startup" and restart your eclipse.
Now you can select on the eclipse start your favorite workspace and optional you can say "Use this as a default and do not ask again".

1Hmmm. There definitely seems to be an issue with my Eclipse. I checked this box, and it doesn't ask me which workspace to open, it still just opens a blank workspace (mind you, I have two, both of which have projects in them). – Ryan Apr 18 '13 at 19:41

Maybe you should try it with a reinstallation. Because the way what i should works normaly. – Rene Herget Apr 18 '13 at 19:44

I'll probably do that at some point. It's not preventing me from working, it's just an irritation right now. – Ryan Apr 18 '13 at 20:32

Just run this command eclipse.exe -data C:\Development\Eclipse\Workspace
FYI this happens due to install of some plugins.
