I have various interrelated projects in my Eclipse Helios workspace. Some projects use the Java standard coding style with no license header. Some others use similar coding style with 3-space indentation with LGPL 2.1 license header. Some others use tab indentation with Apache License 2 header. They all do not store Eclipse project settings in their version control system, so they need to be configured once they are imported to the Eclipse workbench.
What I want to do is to apply the same formatter and template settings (+ some Java compiler settings?) to the modules that belong to the same project. I tried to select them either using control + click or grouping them with a working set, but both didn’t allow me to update any project-specific settings.
Ideally, it would be nice if I can map a working set with its project-specific settings (e.g. Apply this and this to all projects which belong to the working set ‘X’), but I wouldn’t even complain if I have to right-click on a working set every time I import a new project.
How can I do this? Is there any plugin that does the job? Is there any workaround for the limitation?
No really good way to handle this beyond take one project and apply your settings and then copy the .settings/jdt file(s) to the projects you want it applied to.
