How to share Eclipse configuration over different workspaces

Sharing eclipse specific settings across workspaces: Go to ${old_workspace}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings Copy everything under the above directory to ${new_workspace}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings This is going to make sure that the ${new_workspace} is having the same configuration as the ${old_workspace} Hope this helps. Update in case of any issues.

Starting Eclipse w/ Specific Workspace

From http://help.eclipse.org/help21/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/running_eclipse.htm: Use the following command-line argument: -data your_workspace_location For example, -data c:\users\robert\myworkspace you can also use UNIX-style relative path names such as -data ../workspace even under Windows, in case something doesnt like colons or backslashes in parameters, like Jumplist Launcher
