Maintaining a common set of Eclipse preferences

by

You could of course export/import those settings.

The other approach is to enable project specific settings for some settings.

We have a very small Git repository with those kind of files:

  • .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs (compiler problem settings and formatter rules)
  • .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.pref (cleanup rules, common code templates)

The common settings are just copied/merged in each projects .settings directory, ensuring common rules amongst all projects, whatever the workspace.
