Hi all,
I've been having some troubles with modifying Eclipse Preferencs Files (*.epf) recently , and tried to look up documentation for them, but the only thing I could find were articles explaining how to import/export the preferences. Is the format really not documented at all?
Some of the questions I have are as follows:
- Does the order of statements matter?
- I found some duplicated lines in the file. What is the behaviour of Eclipse in such a case?
- What does an escaped exclamation mark mean in the following line: "\!/configuration/org.eclipse.core.net="
- What does @-sign mean in the following line: "@org.eclipse.pde.core=3.6.0.v20100601"
Kind regards,
Mikhail Kalkov

Ok, thanks Paul! I've solved my particular problem already but would still go and have a look at the source code you've talked about.
Just in case anybody wonders: the order of lines matter, and the lower lines overwrite the higher ones. What is more, some settings are not reflected in the existing Preferences window, and one has to press "Cancel" *after* loading a EPF file, and open the window again. Finally, a couple settings such as /configuration/org.eclipse.core.net/nonProxiedHosts are not applied until Eclipse is restarted.
