Quick way to transfer "External Tool Configurations" from one Eclipse install to another?

Is there a quick way to transfer the "External Tool Configurations" from one Eclipse install to another?

It doesn't seem to offer an import/export setting...

I managed to copy my "External Tools Configurations" configuration (i.e. my Ant parameters and environment variables) from one workspace to another by copying .launch files in

<workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.debug.core\.launches

I found one more easy way , you can export the Launch Configurations from

File -> Export-> Run/Debug -> Launch Configurations

  1. Open the "External Tools Configurations" dialog.
  2. Open the "Common" tab.
  3. Select the "Shared file" radio button and enter a path for the location of the configuration file.

Eclipse will store your External Tools Configuration in the file you specified. You can use this file in another instance of Eclipse to load the configuration. Add the 'your tool configuration'.launch file you created to the root of your destination project. The next time you refresh the project, Eclipse will load the configurations.
