Eclipse Global Preferences

Question

Possible duplicate:
Cloning workspace in eclipse

I started a new workspace a couple of weeks ago and set up eclipse (Window -> Preferences). I configured a lot of things, hotkeys and so on.

Now I started a new Workspace, but none of the old settings are available. Is there any way to configure global settings for eclipse?

I know that I can export / import settings, but I have some doubts if this really accepts all preferences. Previous experience told me no, plus this is inconvenient, since one change in one workspace will not be updated in another, and you have these persistent unsynchronized properties.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can see the following plugin: http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/workspacemechanic/

This is a plugin developed by Google that allows you to save your settings and automatically apply them to any workspace.

If you save it in your Dropbox (or any other shared storage), you can share your preferences between all your computers and even between all members of your team.

This is the best and most reliable solution for your problem.

Answer 2

No, It is Immpossible. All settings are performed for each workspace.
