Save "run as configuration" settings in project files does NOT work: Really export project [message #758221]

I have a java application in my workspace. When I click now

Run As-->Run Configuration->Arguments tab

then I defined there as Program arguments a file (e.g. foobar.txt)
Everything works.

Now I deleted the whole project from workspace (but not from hard disc).

I copied/moved the whole project directory tree to another folder (or even another computer).

There I imported that project in the Eclipse installation again.

But unfortunately the parameter "foobar.txt" is NOT set.
So it seems to be NOT saved in the .project settings file.

Where is it saved otherwise?

How can I export all relevent project run configuration settings as well?

I want to make all project stuff and all settings portable to other Eclipse installations.

On the Common tab, choose 'Shared file' and select your project (or a
folder inside it).

Thank you.

Will this information be automatically imported (later in another Eclipse installation)?
or do I have to install it manually?

By the way: Where is this information stored otherwise (if I enable "Local file" on "common" tab) ?

Inside the .metadata of your workspace.
