I use that, but you have to open an existing workspace before you create the new one.

The problem is that there are many options that do something similar, but you still have to manually do it

would file->switch workspace->other….

with the copy setting set get enough of what you want?

Yeah, the export/import is something you have to do with each workspace you create, I was hoping something more automatic

Yes, we need it! May be I can hack something to AnyEdit Tools . BTW, the lack if a proper settings synchronization was the reason why I’ve wrote export/import working sets wizard in AnyEdit.

@Eugene: unfortunately many view and workspace settings are lost if just using “export/import settings” wizard.

Have you tried File / Export… / Preferences and then corresponding import?

I don’t know if there is a plugin for it but you can make an empty workspace, make all the base configuration changes you want then export the configuration.

keep this file and reimport it in any new workspace you make.

there may even be a way to specify this file as the base eclipse configuration but I never looked for it ….

Yes! I need that aswell. I frequently switch between workspaces to work in different branches of our product, and keeping the configuration the same is a nightmare.
