I have a similar problem with this guy: Import / export of project settings , but my problem is even worse, I need to create a new workspace (i.e. a new base directory) for each program or version I'm working on. I have some common preferences (formatter, font size, etc.) that I exported to a file, which I then import every time I create a new workspace, but would like to skip the step of manually importing the .epf file. Has anyone seen an easy way to automate this?
EDIT: To help potential respondents answer the question, here is my workflow for handling bug fixes. Perhaps I am doing something wrong in general, which you can fix (since I only use Eclipse for a couple of years and prefer emacs, so I did not spend a lot of time learning new Eclipse functions)?
- Create a new directory for the workspace.
- Launch the Eclipse editor and open a clean workspace.
- Take a look at the CVS directory containing the .psf files for various programs (necessary because of the existing structure of the CVS tree, which does not play well with Eclipse).
- Use the import command in the .psf file associated with the program I'm working on to complete the necessary projects.
- Switch all projects to the branch tag associated with this release.
- Job...
