- **DONE** Jonah: Send Torbjörn recent discussion about workspaces on macOS that he saw
- See [this conversation](https://www.eclipse.org/lists/platform-dev/msg02600.html) - not sure how relevant it actually is, but Alex Blewitt on the list [suggests using -data](https://www.eclipse.org/lists/platform-dev/msg02601.html) and he is an active macOS user, so that implies it works at least sometimes.
