For multi-users desktops, I need to set-up some preferences in Eclipse.

As an example, I need to activate those 2 preferences by default :
General>Workspace>Refresh using native hooks or polling
General>Workspace>Refresh on access

I’ve found that by checking them and closing eclipse, it is saved to <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs which contains :

eclipse.preferences.version=1
refresh.enabled=true
refresh.lightweight.enabled=true
version=1

What would be the way to set it system wide? All users, all workspaces.

Thanks,

    Use Google Workspace Mechanic to share these settings. Or have your IDE and workspaces managed by Yoxos (which does a lot of other things besides only preferences).

    In pure Eclipse, there is no way to do this by configuration only.
