java - How does one automate configuration of Eclipse? -


a team working on project tend need common configuration of eclipse. includes general configuration , project specific configuration. example, generally, might wish share indentation, installation of plugins (say m2eclipse, testng, egit, spring support). further, project, might want specific plug-in configurations (e.g., m2eclipse, setting custom maven settings file, configuring maven targets eclipse build events), or custom eclipse target platform, or set-up custom launchers.

currently, team executes series of manual steps try , configured correctly. tedious, error-prone , difficult new developers follow. instructions tend out-dated.

to extent can sort of configuration automated? how should done?

the simplest thing available without modifications have common preferences file (export->general->preferences), can load. works best same java installations present.

it possible drop in plugins these days have not worked it. might beneficial create local repository default package depending on plugins want. can install , pull in references. local cache might beneficial repositories quite slow.
