How To Make Workspace Preferences Persisit in Eclipse and Flex-Builder
Working with multiple work spaces in Eclipse/ Flex-Builder can be a rather cumbersome job, particularly when every time you make a new workspace and realise that your keyboard shortcuts don't work and your panels are not where you put them. Says Andy Mcintosh, that while there are a few things that persist from workspace to workspace, he has located a directory that you can copy from one workspace to another to apply your preferences. Here is what he recommends:
  • Create a new workspace somewhere and call it “template_workspace”.
  • Open this workspace and arrange your panels however you please and use the Key Preferences to set up your favourite keyboard short-cuts.
  • Create a new workspace for the project you’re working on. Open it. Now, close it. This will create a .metadata folder in the root folder of the workspace.
  • Navigate to the root of the template workspace directory with an application that will allow you to see hidden files (files prefaced with a dot).
  • In the directory you should see a .metadata folder. Open it. Now open .plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime. In here there is a .settings directory. Copy it to your clipboard.
  • Navigate to the root of the project workspace you just created. Open .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime and paste the .settings directory and completely overwrite the existing one (if there is one).
  • Launch Eclipse/Flex Builder and switch to your new project workspace. Open the perspective that you customized in your template workspace, and it should look just the way you set it up. He adds that your keyboard short-cuts should work too.
