This Oomph looks interesting but quite complex! I'm using eclipse for C/C++, and I have a custom code formatting style, and a custom syntax coloring style I use. In previous versions of eclipse I had to export both of those, and then import them in every workspace which is a bit of a pain.
So I imported the .epf and the formatting .xml files in Mars, and when I create a new workspace, my custom settings are not there. I do have the preferences recorder turned on. How do I make my syntax coloring, and code formatting work across workspaces without having to import them each time?

Moses,
Certainly there are a number of things we might consider adding as
features, e.g., drag and drop of an *.epf file might convert them to
preference tasks. Being able to record preferences into something other
than your user.setup, e.g., a project setup. Some ability to
selectively record the current setting of preferences as preference
tasks, much like the Eclipse's existing preference exporter (which is
very poor at being selective, so one often must literally paw through
the XML to remove unwanted things).
Think about which specific things would be very helpful, open
enhancement requests for them, and consider contributing something
towards those ends.
