Eclipse - universal settings on all workspaces?

I like to use several different workspaces to keep things organized. However, he is annoyed by the need to copy the .settings folder to all my workspaces just because I added a key combination. I am looking for a way to update the settings of all my workspaces when I change the settings in one workspace. The settings I care about are keyboard shortcuts, code style, fonts, etc.

I found this plugin that might be useful, but it doesn't seem to be exactly what I'm looking for.

Ideally, I could save the settings in the cloud. At startup, Eclipse checks to see if the workspace settings and the settings in the cloud are different, and if so, import them from the cloud. If I change any settings, these preferences should be exported to the cloud. Thus, I also have my preferences on my school laboratory machines.

Does anyone know a way to make this work? I'm all ears.

thanks

The short answer is no. The simplest thing is probably just to manually configure your preferences on those two or three PCs where you use Eclipse, and move on.

Longer answer: yes, you can copy (and standardize) the Eclipse settings (for example, for the standard configuration in your development store). Here is a good article explaining how:

Finally, there is still no easy way (AFAIK) to safely and reliably connect UNINSTALL plugins to the latest / largest version (Indigo, Eclipse 3.7). Therefore, if you find yourself experimenting with a lot of plug-ins .. some of which you might eventually want to get rid of ... then it might be best to install Eclipse on a virtual machine (say, VBox or VMWare, running Linux or Windows). Use your virtual machine as a small sandbox where you can try and clone easily (if you like) or blow it away (if you don't).

IMHO ...
