If copying a set of bundles to a different workspace is all you wish to achieve then simplest way
would be to Export them as (General ->) Archive File.
It can be imported using (General ->) Existing Projects into Workspace option.
Since compiling the bundles successfully depends on Target Platform, you will have to replicate it
too. If your target is not located in a file, you can do so by opening the Target Platform
Preference page choose the "Share" button.
