Eclipse java code style formatter profile location

Question

I am trying to find out where the code style formatter profiles are saved. I have three profiles, but I need to know where they are located on my hard drive.

Answer 1

They are located in your workspace in these files

...\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs 
...\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

Answer 2

All you need is to export theses files before importing them.

 Eclipse > Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Formatter:

• Choose Active Profile from the list
• Edit
• Export
• Locate the directory you want to save it.
