where is the workingset info of an eclipse workspace stored?

886 Views Asked by At

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
