Given an Eclipse installation and a workspace created by Oomph, is it possible to let Oomph create a second workspace with a different project setup reusing the same Eclipse installation?

If you want your second workspace to be automatically managed by Oomph, I think that the philosophy is to let Oomph manage your installation with your workspace.

The great thing is: the plugins (jars) are not downloaded twice. An install managed by Oomph is less than 20MB (+ the bundle pool, shared across the installations).

See my Blog Post: Oomph changes the way you handle multiple eclipse installations.


That said, you can also create a second workspace with your Eclipse install (select another folder during the startup or select Menu > File > Switch Workspace). In your second workspace use File > Import… > Oomph > Projects into Workspace.

This way no installation will be created but you can import the projects you want in the second workspace.
