ISSUE:
When running eclipse (galileo) using a Mac network user account a message “Workspace in use or cannot be created, choose a different one” always pops up. Then after clicking "OK", eclipse closes
SOLUTION:
Run eclipse with the following parameters:
-vmargs -Dosgi.locking=java.io
e.g.
./eclipse -vmargs -Dosgi.locking=java.io
OR
Add -Dosgi.locking=java.io in eclipse.ini.
eclipse.ini can be found by right clicking Eclipse.app and choosing "Show Package Content". Then go to Contents -> MacOS
