Eclipse is my favorite Java IDE. To manage projects Eclipse uses ‘Workspaces’. Workspace is basically a folder on your disk where your project files are stored. To work on a project you load its workspace in Eclipse. Eclipse remembers the workspaces you worked on previously. A drop down list of all (configurable) previous workspaces is displayed when you want to switch workspace. This is pretty good except for one little annoyance. Eclipse presents all previous workspaces even if you have deleted the project folder from the disk. All those deleted workspaces only clutter the list. But there is a very easy way to clean up the list. All you have to do is to edit org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs file.
This file is located under configuration/.setting directory under your eclipse installation directory. For e.g. if you have Eclipse installed under C:\ides\eclipse the file will be under C:\ides\eclipse\configuration\.settings.

I am opening my blog to advertisements. I have had Google AdSense ad units for some time on my website, and now I think is the appropriate time to solicit ads directly from advertisers. While I am working on getting my marketing arm in place, I thought it will be a good idea to let follow bloggers and website owners to advertise on my blog for free for a limited time. I am offering 3 125×125 ad spots on the right side of the blog.
