Too much pain and agony...

You can always export various settings etc, use a common set of templates etc. In a perfect world everyone could have the same setup, but with different developers on different versions of OS, and the fact that every variation of plugins and Eclipse versions has enough bugs to restrict it to only doing certain things it just isn't worth it. This is one reason for using Maven, you can at least enforce a consistent build environment from the command line everywhere.

Eclipse configs don't really need to have any absolute paths, unless of course you choose to use absolute paths in the .classpath, but it is not an Eclipse issue.

I found it a very good practice to have all Eclipse-related project configuration in version control (including per-project configuration in .settings, such as code formatting, setting for warnings, templates, etc). that helps to unify code standards across the team and remove any assumptions about settings you may have locally in your IDE.

Because then you couldn't just copy your workspace to another filesystem and keep using it... As it is the workspace is totally self-contained. Granted the setup and versions of Eclipse using it need to be reasonably compatible. We don't version control .classpath or .project files, so their presence is not really a problem, if you svn checkout the project there is not a trace of the fact that you used Eclipse to develop it.
