Hi Tony, > How can I debug the “Choose workspace” dialog workflow with an “Eclipse Application” launch?
Use @noDefault and you will get the prompt under normal conditions. You can debug org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication.checkInstanceLocation(Shell, Map) to see why your code is working as it is. You can read more about the special location options in https://help.eclipse.org/2020-09/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html#locations HTH, Jonah ~~~ Jonah Graham Kichwa Coders www.kichwacoders.com On Tue, 10 Nov 2020 at 18:23, Homer, Tony <tony.ho...@intel.com> wrote: > I recently made a change in an Eclipse product to switch from a static > product declaration to a dynamic product declaration, as documented here: > > > https://help.eclipse.org/2020-09/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fextension-points%2Forg_eclipse_core_runtime_products.html&cp%3D2_1_1_30 > > > > After making this change, most everything works as expected, but the > “Choose workspace” dialog is no longer displayed on startup.
