It would be very convenient if, when creating a new workspace, the Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Workspace Name preference was automatically set to match the name of the workspace directory.
+1
+1 -- it will be very useful for runtime workspaces / junit workspaces having the proposed default (also +1 for pointing out that feature, I didn't know it existed)
+1 That's a great idea. I wonder what the best way to implement it is? We could: 1. Detect first launch and set the preference. 2. Or support variable expansions within the title field and make the default value something like ${workspace_name}.

NOTE: There is a command line option to do this: -showlocation If you set the name to be the location you must ensure that it won't appear duplicated. Same applies when the user goes to General > Workspace and enables 'Show workspace path in window title'.
(In reply to Dani Megert from comment #6) Showing workspace name and showing workspace location are two independent options and the proposed change doesn't change this situation. The workspace name is displayed as before, the only thing that changes is the default value of the preference.

Caused bug 491850, which is a blocker IMHO.

For those who use -showlocation this change duplicates the name in the window title (once as name and once as last segment of the path). But I can live with that.

https://git.eclipse.org/r/71007 puts the preference initialization in IDEWorkbenchAdvisor instead of IDEApplication. Please let me know which of the two locations you prefer.

More tests will be needed e.g. for products that set the preference in their custom ini files. I suggest to move this to 4.7.

Testing of this use case has uncovered a bug that been fixed in the latest version of the patch. I do not think this pretty useful feature needs to wait another year. The month of May gives plenty of time for additional testing and fixing of bugs should they be uncovered.
