Hello Simon

Sorry for my late reply, I was lying in bed sick for some days.

My setup:  
OS X Yosemite / Windows 7  
JDK 1.8 Update 25+  
Eclipse 4.4 Luna (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers)  
Plugin: Maven m2e, Vaadin, JBoss Tools, e(fx)clipse, Minimalist Gradle Editor

Inspired by the post of bill, I also started trying out some scenarios. If I start Eclipse, do nothing and just close it again, it asks me to choose a workspace on the next startup. However, if I do some “Gradle stuff” like calling the clean task, Eclipse will not ask on the next startup.

Regards,  
Christoph
