All the members of my team works with Eclipse. However, each one have different configuration, preferences and plugins. What is the best way to keep a baseline of plugins, preferences such as code styling and formatting, and other configuration in order to have similar start point but to allow each team member for specific configuration.
I am looking for a solution that will be easy to maintain also, means not too many files that resides in different locations.
Preferences are stored in the workspace of your application in the . metadata/. plugins/org. eclipse.
Under Windows, the Eclipse Preferences window is invoked via Windows | Preferences . For each of the changes, hit Apply . When all the changes are done, hit OK , which will close the Eclipse Preferences Window.
One way of finding out is to select Help > About Eclipse Platform >. From this dialog, click Plug-in Details to get a list of all installed plug-ins, along with vendor and version information.
Go to Window > Preferences > Java > Code Style > Organize Imports.
A simple approach for preferences is to use File>Import
and File>Export
, choosing General>Preferences
, then the preferences you want to share. For a few of my past teams, we stored the baseline preferences in version control.
