Bug 330135 Start e4 RCP several times fails
Reported: 2010-11-12 15:15:03 | Status: verified fixed

In Eclipse 3.X I could start an RCP application several times. I like that because I could have an "old" version and the "new" version running side by side. If I try to do this in e4 I get "Could not launch the application because the associated workspace is currently in use by another Eclipse instance." The same restriction applies for an exported product which I think is really bad.
