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

You can also copy the .prefs files from ${old_workspace}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings to a folder called .settings in the root folder of your project and then add it to SVN (or CVS or ...)

That way the settings will get distributed to all developers along with the source code during an Update.
