choose a tool to create/maintain custom eclipse distrib

Question

I would like to settle on a tool to create/maintain my custom eclipse distrib (starting with next 3.6). By studying previous questions main contenders seem:

• Pulse<

Answer 1

Basically I was looking for the similar plugin or product. Pulse and Yoxos both supports plugin sync and workspace preference sync which is what i was mostly expecting.

Pulse

Pros

• Pulse Explorer let you create new profile easily and share it
• Eclipse installation folder is configurable and can be used as standalone installation for each profile

Cons

• I felt sharing workspace preferences is complicated
• Plugins repo search is slow
• Replaced default update / install menus with Yoxos update
• Very very buggy

Yoxos

Pros

• I felt importing workspace preferences and save it to your online profile is easy
• Search the plugins from public repositories is cool and very easy
• Single eclipse installation is shared between all profiles

Cons

• Yoxos Customizer is very complex (at least in my experience)
• Custom added repositories are not synced with server

Workspace Mechanic Its very cool, more flexible plugin, but will sync only workspace preferences across eclipse installations

Personally I'm settled with Yoxos now.
