Eclipse doesn't save the previous settings like workspace & Plug-ins

I am using Eclipse Neon on my MacBook & every time I start Eclipse it prompts me for my workspace again and again even though I set it as my default one.

Same goes for the plug-ins I have installed , I need to install eclipse decompiler every time I load eclipse.

I get an error like : "This wizard helps you to import and reinstall previously installed plug-ins. It is triggered because either you are launching eclipse for the first time or your Eclipse has been updated."

Can someone please assist me with this issue ?

Two workarounds that I can suggest are:

I had the same problem after updating my Mac to Sierra: Eclipse would not remember the default workspace. After moving Eclipse into the Application folder, the problem disappeared.
