eclipstyle

Set up Eclipse workspace preferences once and use them everywhere!

How Does It Work?

Clones code style formatting as well as font, color & text editor settings located in

• org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
• org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs
• org.eclipse.ui.editors.prefs
• org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs

files from a directory or an existing workspace to all workspaces.

Usage

# export preferences
java -jar eclipstyle.jar export /path/to/ref/workspace /path/to/export/prefs

# clone previously exported preferences
java -jar eclipstyle.jar clone /path/to/import/prefs /path/to/all/workspaces

# export preferences from an existing workspace
java -jar eclipstyle.jar clone /path/to/ref/workspace /path/to/all/workspaces
