I develop C and Python using eclipse (using CodeBench, which is eclipse). My main job is embedded development and i have to support multiple products, so I make extensive use of the workspace feature of eclipse.

I have 3-5 main workspaces, each with 5-10 eclipse projects.

If I have to support an older version of a firmware, I checkout the Tag and create a new workspace. Because of company policy, I can't check in my workspace settings into svn/git, so it uses the default settings (no line numbers, layout, ...).

Is there a possibility to 'define actual settings as default for new workspaces'?

You can export your preferences from a workspace in to a file and then import them in another workspace.

Use 'File > Export > General > Preferences' to export the preferences.

Use 'File > Import > General > Preferences' to import.
