I'm trying to share preferences with other developers in my Team using Oomph's Project Model. What I did so far:

  1. Create a Setup Project Model using the template Simple Project
  2. Import the current Preferences using the icon Capture Preferences

Now I have a .setup-File that contains (hopefully) my current preferences. But how do I share this file? I expect that there is some way to convince eclipse to read this file and to sync the preferences with it. I was hoping I could commit this file to SVN and eclipse would then read this file on every Startup...

Is something like this possible, and how is it done?

  • Does this mean, that it is not possible to "connect" a Setup Project Model to an already installed Eclipse? – treeno Oct 22 '18 at 15:36
  • Which preferences are you talking about? Project-specific settings (e. g. compiler settings, formatting, etc.) are shared via the project subfolder `.settings` without Oomph. Oomph is useful if you want to automatically e. g. check out repositories or install required plug-ins. – howlger Oct 23 '18 at 07:36
  • Yes project-specific settings. I used .settings in the past, but in bigger workspaces with a lot projects this becomes hard to maintain, since you would have to set the same settings in several projects. As a little workaround I used to copy the contents of .settings from one project to another, but this also means, that I would have to do that several times when I want to change something. – treeno Oct 23 '18 at 08:33
  • You might have a look at [Workspace Mechanic](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/workspace-mechanic) for that. – howlger Oct 23 '18 at 09:03
