Description
Use-Case
I have a workspace-1(C:/workspace-1) created for my eclipse ide. Now i create 2 projects(proj-1 and proj-2) inside eclipse so these 2 projects would get stored inside workspace-1.
Now I close eclipse, move this workspace-1 into another folder(C:/archive/workspace-1).
Then i create a new workspace-2(C:/workspace-2) work with this for a while and after some time i switch to the moved workspace-1(C:/archive/workspace-1) for testing. Now the proj-1 and proj-2 are corrupted because i have moved my workspace-1 to another path.
So is there anything that can be done in eclipse to correct the location or can a feature be requested to eclipse to do a relative path check(maybe use relative paths for projects based on user preference) for projects created inside of workspace.
The issue is because for all projects the absolute path is stored inside workspace metadata org.eclipse.core.resources.
