Assume I currently editing an XML file.

How can I change the current highlighting colors schema?

How can I export this new XML color schema and import it in another Eclipse installation?

Thank you.

two more related questons:

1.) But where can I setup editor (monospaced) font?

2.) Is the mentioned export+import procedure
suitable as well for migration of preferences from
Eclipse old to Eclipse new

E.g. from

v3.4->v3.5
or (in future)
v3.5->v3.6

?

On the Colors and Fonts preference page, under General/Appearance,
either with the Text Font or the Structured Text Editor Text Font. A
monospaced font should already be the default.
