Recently I began to store the source code of my projects in a separate directory outside the default workspace to avoid conflicts with my co workers when using the same github repo, which is the reason for this question.
When creating a new Java project in version 4.6 Neon of Eclipse IDE, it shows you the location where the project folder will be created on your disk.

It gives you the option to
"Use default location"
which in my case is the path to my workspace directory.
My question now is, how do I change that default location? Because I'd like to store all my code outside the workspace, I now need to enter my project folders path when creating a project.
I haven't found anything in the build in preferences nor in any of the forums dealing with Eclipse's features in general.
To clarify my question, I am not interested in changing the workplace location but rather in setting a default directory where all new projects should be automatically created.
Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance. :)
