Bug 304448 E4Workbench never locks the instance area
Reported: 2010-03-02 23:01:11 | Status: resolved fixed

The E4Workbench never appears to lock the instance area for the workspace. This means multiple instances could be launched which use the same instance area. org.eclipse.e4.workbench.ui.internal.ResourceHandler.ResourceHandler(Location, URI, boolean, Logger) constructor gets the instance area URL but it never attempts to lock the instance area. Is this intentional or an oversight?
