How to share Eclipse configuration over different workspaces

Question

I\'m using Eclipse (PDT) as primary IDE on different machines. (like at home, laptop, in office, etc.). How could I share the Eclipse and project configuration pragmatically

Answer 1

Another option is export/import:

1. From your existing workspace, File->Export...->General->Preferences, check Export all, and choose file to save them to (prefs.epf for example)
2. Startup Eclipse in a new workspace, File->Import...->General->Preferences , choose your file (prefs.epf), check import all

That worked great for the original author of this tip: he had his code formatting, code style, svn repos, jres preferences imported.

Edit: On Eclipse Juno this works poorly. Some preferences silently do not carry over such as save actions.
