如何导出Eclipse GUI设置？

Question

I've created a new workspace in Eclipse, and it starts at the standard GUI settings (eg white, standard font, welcome screen shows up every time Eclipse is opened, etc.). I have another workspace that has all the settings that I like, and I would like to export them and use them in my new workspace. How can I do so?

Answer 1

I dont think Eclipse provides export functionality for UI settings. Here is what I am doing with my Eclipse workspaces.

1) Create empty workspace and customze it to your liking. Lets call it 'template' workspace.

2) Copy the whole 'template' workspace to another directory, rename it and use it for your project. Next time you need another project with same customization just copy that 'template' workspace and rename according to the other project.

Answer 2

Open the workspace from which you want to copy settings. File -> Switch Workspace -> Other and expand Copy Settings check Workbench Layout . See whether this copies the settings that you want by choosing your workspace.

Answer 3

Doesn't general preferences hold GUI Settings?

If so,

File > Export, General > Preferences, export all and then select where to save.

Then import as usual
