How to share Eclipse configuration over different workspaces

Sharing eclipse specific settings across workspaces:

  1. Go to ${old_workspace}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
  2. 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}

Update in case of any issues.
