That's what started this discussion. The user shouldn't have to do anything to get the fix. It should just work. Which led us to the desire to override the defaults where we disagree with the settings the projects put in. Doug. From: Daniel Megert mailto:daniel_meg...@ch.ibm.com>> Reply-To: Cro

I think Eclipse can offer a feature to synchronize kinds of configuration, like Chrome and Firefox Sync. Developers can use their account of eclipse.org to synchronize their installation of plug-ins, preference configuration and even more. Kane On Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 3:26 PM, Daniel Megert wr

We can definitely do better as mentioned in several comments already. Just wanted to mention ? though not very user-friendly ? there is a mechanism that allows to set most preferences (those that appear in the preference dialog) per install(s): eclipse[c].exe -pluginCustomization where the
