Hi,
I know this has been asked before. There has been no good answer, and the
last time it was asked was is 2007 I think, so I wanted to see if there
tre any updates.
I have multiple workspaces. I want my preferences to be the same for all
workspaces. Preferences includes perspective layout, colors, step
filters, etc. I know that I can manually export and import preferences
from one workspace to another. Is there a way I can just have the two
workspaces be in sync? For example, could they write preferences to
$HOME/.eclipse rather than to the workspace directory?
Thanks!

No, it's not possible.
You might be interested in following this enhancement, which is targeted
for the "next generation" release of Eclipse, dubbed "E4."
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=255371
I realize it is no help to you right now, but since you are feeling a
particular pain related to it you can take the opportunity to contribute
to the discussion (and maybe even the implementation) with your own
perspective.

Thanks Eric! I looked at that bug and to be honest, most of it is over my
head, so I don't think I can contribute much to the discussion. (Also, I
don't want to add myself as a CC because I don't want to publish my
email.) But it sounds like it will address my problem. Basically, for
each preference, I would like to specify the scope (user, workspace, etc)
of that preference. I am fine with waiting for the next release.
