Moving Eclipse Workspace from ~ to new directory?

Question

Okay, so I made a mistake of setting my home directory (~, a.k.a. /home/user) to be my workspace location on my RHEL6 box.

I want to change my workspace to ~/workspace.

Answer 1

1. Close Eclipse.
2. Open the location of the workspace and cut paste the entire directory (which contains the ".metadata" directory into the intended location.
3. Restart Eclipse with newly copied folder as the workspace (parent directory of ".metadata" folder).
