What is the things keep in mind before choosing the workspace. And what are the alternatives if the wrong workspace choosen ?


Solution

  • Eclipse does not require your projects to live under your workspace folder. Therefore you are allowed to have a project and workspace as you describe.

    When creating a project, uncheck the default location checkbox in the wizard and select your truly desired location.

    My only recommendation on workspace location is to have it on a local drive and don't have it as a sub directory of any project in your workspace.
