Hello:

I have been using Eclipse for a few weeks but for the life of me I cannot find a way to save some of the settings for the editors for JAVA and Android. By this I mean - save them so that from one project to another these settings remain the same without my having to go back into preferences and changing them each time:

1. Size of recently opened files list: 10
2. Displayed and saved tab width: 3
3. Insert spaces for tabs: ON
4. Show line numbers: ON
5. Set MY choice for Code Templates
6. Typing - Automatically close "Strings" - OFF
Parens, square & angle brackets - OFF
7. Automatically insert at correct Position - Semicolons - Off
Braces - ON

I have tried until I am blue in the face to do this to no avail - can someone out there help me?

Thanks in advance,

Sparky

Eclipse workspaces are completely separate and distinct from each other. There are few, if any, preferences that are common to all workspaces.

Workspaces should not be used for project management. You shouldn't have one workspace per project. You should only have a single workspace.

I have distinct workspaces for (non-Android) open-source project I work on. I created separate workspaces only because they need to have different preferences.

If you really want to have distinct workspaces, then you need to export your preferences from a configured workspace and import them into the new workspace.
