Why we need a workspace? For example, our codes are under file A, then we set our workspace to B(empty). But after we edit our codes, there is still nothing is file B. However, code in A has changed.

    eclipse includes it's own version control mechanism which allows you to use local history. Also, the ability to support multiple workspaces allows you to separate projects and versions of projects. – Elliott Frisch Mar 09 '15 at 14:48

  • @Pshemo even when it comes to explaning concepts about those tools which are documented in their own manual? – Laf Mar 09 '15 at 14:53
  • I believe you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how workspaces are (typically) used. – Zéychin Mar 09 '15 at 15:07

    @Laf 99% of questions on SO can be answered by quoting some part of documentation/manual. But does it make them off-topic? – Pshemo Mar 09 '15 at 15:12

It is simply a matter of preference, it is used to help organize projects.

even if you change your workspace the code you edit will be saved onto the disk into the file it was originally created for.
