For example, I go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors and untick "Show line numbers", Apply / Ok.
But then when I close / reopen Eclipse, make a new workspace and new project it's ticked again.
How can I make changes I make in Preferences persistant forever across all workspaces / projects ?
Thanks.
(Eclipse Mars Release (4.5.0), Win 8.1 x64)

Preferences do not transfer between workspaces.
Therefore, if you wish to preserve preferences across any workspaces you
use, you'll want to...
1. File -> Export -> General -> Preferences
2. Next
3. Select those preferences you wish to make a copy of
4. Name the file (or browse to an existing one)
5. Continue to create or overwrite a file to contain those preferences
Later, in the new or different workspace, you reverse the process
1. File -> Import -> General -> Preferences
2. etc.
Hope this helps.
