Only one Eclipse process can access the workspace at any one time. So you have these options:

  1. One user only watches the other develop
  2. You copy the workspace
  3. You save the projects in a version control system like Mercurial or Subversion so every developer can get their own copy and merge their work with the rest of the team.

How to copy workspace? We do share same user credentials. – volody – 2010-08-13T16:10:22.460

Copy the workspace folder and delete the folder ".metadata". Export the preferences in Eclipse, start a second copy, switch the workspace (it should ask during startup; otherwise use the item in the File menu) and import the prefs. – Aaron Digulla – 2010-08-16T07:03:13.470

I did that, but having issue with showing projects in Project Explorer. None of them is visible. Thank you. – volody – 2010-08-16T14:32:06.663

I end up with using get project from svn – volody – 2010-08-16T18:14:09.360

You must import the files again. Just select the new workspace folder in the "Import Existing Project" wizard and it should show you all projects at once. – Aaron Digulla – 2010-08-17T07:08:38.267
