Hello everyone,
I'm a newcomer to Eclipse but have been working with it for a while.
I have a couple of Java projects that I'm working on and would like to
find a simple and comfortable way to sync them properly accross my
computers.
One computer is a MacBook Pro running MAC OS X (of course), the other is
my desktop PC running Windows XP.
I run Eclipse on both and can synchronize the source code or workspace
libraries with third party tools such as sugarsync
(http://www.sugarsync.com) and dropbox (http://www.getdropbox.com) but
it's not enough! I think I need something like all my properties and the
actual project files for Eclipse to be synched as well...
I'm not sure how to do this, please help.
To make it easier:
1. I never work on both computers at the same time
2. I am the only person working on my projects
3. Both computers are on the same private wireless network (when the
laptop is not taken to school / work).
4. I don't have a server.

Using Export/Import to/from an archive (ZIP) file is probably the
easiest way - that will include everything necessary to move a project
from one machine to the other.
But I'd recommend setting up a CVS server on one of your machines. It is
easy to do and not only do you get syncing but also versioned source
control which has other benefits. And before you ask, the answer is,
"yes" CVS is worthwhile even for single-developer projects.
Hope this helps,
Eric
