Where does Eclipse store the keyboard shortcuts configured in the Preferences dialog? I have a lot of custom keyboard shortcuts, and I find it’s a huge chore to manually re-enter them whenever I setup a in Eclipse installation. I’m assuming Eclipse stores these configurations under ~/.eclipse, but after searching through those file I can’t seem narrow down which specific file(s) contain my preferences.

How would I programmatically backup and restore my Eclipse preferences?

    According to: http://robertmarkbramprogrammer.blogspot.com/2007/07/eclipse-shortcuts.html

    Go to File > Export > Preferences. Select “Export All” and fill
    out the destination path in the “To preference file” field. Click
    “Finish” to output a .epf file. Import these with File > Import >
    Preferences.
