Following are the terms that should be known to you in order to effectively and efficiently work with Eclipse IDE.
Workspace
A directory where your projects are created (by default), is called workspace. Eclipse makes it easy for you to not specify this directory everytime you create a new project. For first launch it asks you about a default workspace and it uses that afterwards.
Eclipse locks your workspace directory as it launches. So, you can't have two Eclipse IDEs open that are working on the same workspace.
