In our Gradle forum

a user recently reported a problem with not seeing the workspace
prompt when starting Eclipse and suspected that it is related to
Buildship. We created a BugZilla issue
<https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=478054> for this. After
deeper investigations, Simon Scholz from Vogella GmbH eventually found
the problem and a fix:
[...]
as a consequence the workspace prompt is not shown anymore when
starting Eclipse. The plugin activation code has been in Buildship for
a very long time but until very recently, nobody had ever experienced
this problem.

Buildship 1.0.4

built today, contains a patch for this issue by only starting the
UI bundle programmatically if the bundle is not already in state
“ACTIVE". This avoids the corruption
of /configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/framework.info.{x} and thus the
workspace prompt is always properly shown when starting Eclipse.

How should we proceed from here?
Not prompting user for workspace is a critical bug. as many users deal
with multiple workspaces.
IMO, Gradle support is the very new thing of this release, it's even one
of the things that will most likely get advertised as part of Mars.1. So
we can expect that the bug will have a high exposure and will hurt many
users, giving an impression of "the only new thing in this release
causes a blocker bug". This is not something the Eclipse Community and
Eclipse IDE can afford.
There is no doubt this issue requires a respin of Mars.1.
