| Switching workspaces |
| </h1> |
| <p> |
| The current workspace for Eclipse can be switched by using the |
| <strong>File->Switch Workspace</strong> command. If you have already |
| switched your workspace previously the previous workspaces will be |
| available for selection in the Switch Workspace menu. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Switch Workspace --> Other.. menu item will open the switch |
| workspace dialog. The dialog will allow you to browse for or manually |
| enter a new workspace location. The combo will also allow you to select |
| your previously selected workspaces. |

| <h2> |
| Settings Transfers |
| </h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| When you switch your workspace you can select settings than will be |
| transferred to the new workspace. These settings are supplied by the |
| org.eclipse.ui.preferenceTransfer extension. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The SDK supplies transfers for: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Workspace Layout: Opened views, their size, and selected |
| perspectives. |
| </li> |
| <li>Working Sets: The user defined working sets. |
| </li> |
