    Hi Geoff,

    open Eclipse application package. Control click on Eclipse.app -> show
    package contents.

    Open the file Contents/info.plist with TextEdit.

    In the file is a line nearly like this "-consoleLog -os macosx -ws
    carbon" add "-data /Volumes/Users/workspace" to it. There is no need to
    call the workspace workspace. Any valid folder is okay . Eclipse
    creates a .metadata folder in it.
