How do I configure this tool?
I already have my preferences set up in my Eclipse environment, the bottom icon shows that workspace mechanic is ok. But when I open a workspace or create a new workspace nothing happens, none of the preferences are there.
How do I set up workspace mechanic, and how do I tell a workspace to use the settings of another workspace?
回答1:
By default, workspace mechanic shares no settings between workspaces. To share settings, they have to be told the tool manually.
This can be done two ways: the mechanic allows a preference change recording on the GUI , or you can manually create configurations.
Basically, both ways result in .epf files in your «home folder»/.eclipse/mechanic directory. All installed workspace mechanic instances will look at these folders.
