Eclipse preferences reset with new workspace? [message #308563] Thu, 28 September 2006 05:52 Go to next message

Dear All,

When I change workspaces it seems that I revert to defaults for all my
preferences: general, code style, you name it - all my edits are lost. Is
there really no way of configuring the IDE in a way that will affect all
workspaces subsequently created?

Thanks,

Miles

yes, as preferences are stored in the <workspace>/.metadata directory.

As you found out, you can export and import the workspace preferences
from one instance of eclipse to another.

For some preferences (like java projects, compiler compliance and
warning/error levels) you can ask that they be pre-project ... then
they're stored in the project/.settings directory and can be checked
into source control.

Later,
PW
