Question

All the members of my team works with Eclipse. However, each one have different configuration, preferences and plugins. What is the best way to keep a baseline of plugins, preferences such as code styling and formatting, and other configuration in order to have similar start point but to allow each team member for specific configuration.

I am looking for a solution that will be easy to maintain also, means not too many files that resides in different locations.

Answer 1

A simple approach for preferences is to use File>Import and File>Export, choosing General>Preferences, then the preferences you want to share. For a few of my past teams, we stored the baseline preferences in version control.
