Open Eclipse Workspace


Create a .reg file with following content:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\OpenEclipseWorkspace]
@="Open Eclipse Workspace"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\OpenEclipseWorkspace\command]
@="d:\\Java\\eclipse\\eclipse.exe -showlocation -data \"%1\""


  1. Change the eclipse exe path.
  2. Right click on the workspace folder and select "Open Eclipse Workspace"
  3. This will open the eclipse workspace in the IDE
  4. If the folder does not contain workspace metadata then a new workspace will get created
