Sharing Eclipse Preferences in a Team [message #255815]

We have a Eclipse preferences file in the repository. Every developer in the
team uses this preferences file.

This preference file is constantly updated and then every developer checks
it out and imports it so that his Eclipse uses the latest preferences.

Unfortunately this means all-or-nothing. If a developer for example has some
uncritical custom settings like the color of current line highlight, then
his setting is replaced each time he imports the preference file.

Does the preference file for the whole team need to be manually maintained
so that it only contains the settings for the whole team? What do you
recommend?

At this point, this is probably the only option using Eclipse alone. You
need to manually prune unwanted entries from an exported preferences file
before sharing it with your team members.

You could look at Bug 36965 and contribute comments there.
