I installed Eclipse Luna. I like what the built-in Dark theme does to all the views surrounding the actual text editor. However, I like to use my own color theme Solarized Dark on the editor and furthermore I'm changing a few highlight-box colors in the Editor Annotation settings. I'm able to make all of those configurations just fine. It takes a few minutes however and every time I start Eclipse again all my color settings are back to the default Eclipse Dark Theme, including text editors, highlights and such.

How can I make the aforementioned settings permanent, as in not having to tweak them again every time I start Eclipse?

  • How you are starting eclipse. All preferences will be stored under /.metadata folder. If you are staring eclipse with **-clean** option or you deleted this folder then all settings will be assigned to default values. – Chandrayya G K Sep 02 '14 at 06:55

    That applies the settings but they're gone the next time I start Eclipse. The Eclipse Luna Dark Theme stays but all the other tweaks I made are gone. – Steve Waters Sep 02 '14 at 04:13
