Eclipse - Workspace Unavailable

[Miguel Gonzalez]

I have changed EA Options so my Java editor is eclipse.

When I hit F12 for "View Source Code", Eclipse tries to open but I get the pop-up error message that says... "Workspace in use or cannot be created, choose a different one."

Choosing a different one does not work, it opens Eclipse with the choosen workspace but the code does not appear.

Any ideas on how to make this work?

Thank you.

I have found out that this is happening because the way Eclipse is installed by default.

First, I was getting that error message because I had another instance of Eclipse running. Eclipse installs in a way that it allows running multiple instances. When hitting F12 from EA, what it does is launching a new instance of Eclipse, it does not detect that Eclipse is already running. Because Eclipse was already running, then I got the warning message.

Now I am searching on Internet on how to change the way Eclipse runs to allow only a single instance of the application.

I will report back to here in case someone has a similar issue in the future.
