I have my eclipse workspace so setup so that everything required to run the eclipse IDE (eclipse neon, jdk and the workspace) are on the usb drive.
Before I created workingset in my workspace, this works all fine. I can move the usb drive to a different computer, mapping it to the same drive.
But after I created workingset on one computer, and move the usb drive to a different computer, I cannot get any of the projects displayed. The workingset I have created is available for selecting. But not matter I selected to use workingset or not, no project would show up in the project explorer.
The only solution I have right now is to recreate the workspace. But this defeat the purpose of having everything I need on the usb drive.
The working set information is kept in the
workingsets.xml
file in the workspace metadata folder.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench
