Switch Workspace menu shows deleted workspace

0
Alexa Nafke (41●6●7) | asked Mar 06 '13, 2:54 p.m.

I used Eclipse to delete a workspace and followed up by deleting it from the file system, so it is really, really gone.  However, when I pull down the Switch Workspace menu it is still offered as a choice.  How do I get it to go away completely?

You have to be careful with what you refer to as a workspace. Eclipse has a workspace and RTC has a repository workspace. When you load a repository workspace into your Eclipse workspace, a sandbox is created. The "Switch workspace" action is switching the Eclipse workspace. It's just a list of locations where you've previously used as an Eclipse workspace. It doesn't track whether you've deleted it or not.

Hi

Try looking for org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs (mine is here - C:\IBM\TeamConcert401\configuration\.settings) and that holds the list of Eclipse workspaces.

You can also view and remove items from this list via the Eclipse UI: Window -> Preferences -> General -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces.

That sounds even better John - should have thought of that first.  You learn something new every day :-)
