The comment and answer shared by @howlger is correct. The -data parameter is the key and solution to accomplish the goal

For simplicity - considering we have a script file (.sh)

Therefore for Mac is:

$STS_HOME/SpringToolSuite4.app/Contents/MacOS/SpringToolSuite4 -data ${WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY}

Windows is:

  • $STS_HOME%/SpringToolSuite4 -data ${WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY}

Be sure to prior execute in the terminal the bash command to load the git bash - btw git must be defined in the PATH

Therefore with just one STS installation you are able to open multiple instances where each one is working with a custom and specific (different) workspace specified through the -data parameter
