Java: Transfer Eclipse Project from One Computer to Another?

Question

I'm using eclipse to write my code in Java. I switch back and forth from home computer to work computer on a regular basis. I wanted to be able to sync the work done on one computer to the other computer automatically - how can it be done?

Further, I want to export all the files from my work computer to home computer as I do not have eclipse setup on my home computer yet. I know I can export the files but this will not export the all the Java jars I imported in my project. Basically I want to export everything so once I import it on my home computer I can continue from wherever I left off at work..

Thanks

The best bet, would be setting up a version control system like GIT (e.g : using github) and then you will have the chance to easily synch through the remote repository. Regarding the libraries used by your project, to keep them organized and automatically managed you can take a look at Maven build tool.

If you don't want to go with the version control system, though it will be the best option, you can try with the FileSynch plugin and work through an FTP site or whatever shared location you want ...
