How to change the Eclipse default workspace?

Question

Where can I change the default workspace in Eclipse?

Answer 1

Whatever Frank has suggested to change in config.ini is correct. In case, if that didn't help, you need to remove path from recent workspace as below.

1. Go to eclipse\configuration\org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs\
2. Open the file "org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs"

3. Remove the first path in RECENT_WORKSPACES.

   MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES=5 RECENT_WORKSPACES=/Users/wrokspace1\n/Users/wrokspace2\n/Users/wrokspace3\n/Users/wrokspace4 RECENT_WORKSPACES_PROTOCOL=3
   SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=false
   eclipse.preferences.version=1
