Sometimes it is useful to be able to propatage / push preference
out to team members. I have found some old post with this topic
but they is more about writing a custom solution. But is this possible
somehow within the 3.5 / e4 timeframe

(Not sure if this question relates to the platform or P2 so I cross-post)

If the preferences are specific to a project then you can set project
specific preferences. These are saved in a .settings folder in the root
of the project. You can add the .settings folder to your SCM. Then
other users will automatically pick them up when checking out the project.

Have you considered using something like Yoxos to build your own
distribution for your team members?

http://yoxos.eclipsesource.com/

Yoxos has the ability to do workspace provisioning for your team members
once you setup a profile.

Cheers,

or if you want to share Workspace preferences, use Preferences Export
wizard to save all your preferences to file and then Import wizard to
load them back.
