I have eclipse.
I click on it.
It opens up.
it asks to "select an workspace" and drop down box. ( i have many workspaces indeed)
Here is my question,
I DONT want a particular workspace to come up in the drop down list .
what to do ?
From the "Window" menu item, have a look at "General"->"Startup and shutdown".
Workspace references are kept in a file (obviously) but I can't remember what it's called or where it is. Almost certainly under <eclipse_dir>/configuration, or in your home directory/.eclipse. Search those directories for a textual reference to the workspace in question, and edit the file, would be my advice

Ok. i tried that.
But did not find any options for Removing a particular workspace.

Sorry - I've just read more carefully. I was thinking of the "Prompt for workspace on startup" option. Making this unchecked means you won't be bothered with the dialog and its dropdown box at all.
If you just want to get rid of one project, try what georgemc said, or delete the project from within Eclipse, or remove the corresponding folder from the eclipse folder. (or some combination!)
geo , the entire eclipse directory (c:\eclipse) has been searched with a text editor TEXTPAD.
but did not find any configuration file where the name of the workspace could be written !

Hmmmm. Maybe it's a binary config file, then, but I wouldn't have expected that from Eclipse. I don't think just deleting the workspace folder will work, I still have non-existent workspaces in my list. IIRC, the list of workspaces is finite in size, you could just fill it up with others!
Failing that, get to the newsgroups at eclipse.org and ask there. It can be done, definately
everything is in :
<eclipse_folder>/configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
easier to change under linux but i don't know under windows if it's easy!!

yahoo ...I found it there .
the org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs file has the list of workspaces .
well, i dont want to remove the entry really from there.I would like to do a uncommentation.
is there any uncommentation symbol in prefs file ?
