configuration - How Do You Manage Your Eclipse Installation -
how manage eclipse installation, i.e. basic installation, plug-ins , workspace settings regard consistent updates (including major ones, 3.5 => 3.6) , usage on 2 or more computers (desktop + notebook).
my current setup managing installation on several installations in parallel, i.e. manually add together new plug-ins installed on 1 other, , when haven't used 1 in long time re-create whole directory 1 location other. updates run 1 time month latest versions, major updates manually downloading basic distribution , re-installing plug-ins in matching version new major eclipse version.
however, approach has drawbacks:
time intensive update inconsistencies (update sites alter location, update doesn't work because of version inconsistency between plug-ins requires lot of manual fixing, etc) (this has gotten improve 3.5 still bugs me) no "global" update site, manually have manage several locationsi tried alternatives yoxos configuration management there plug-ins missing , / or not tested expected.
i took @ thought ide, 1 thing loved update management: centralized , 90% of functionality i'd using provided core tested , updated one.
thus question: how manage eclipse installations , deal updates?
from experience other eclipse users have @ to the lowest degree same problem updates, haven't heard of solution yet.
i've heard things other developers google's workspace mechanic.
that's utilize within google manage eclipse environments across teams.
it open sourced in may 2010, , may find more info in blog post.
note workspace mechanic not yet manage plug-in installations (see discussion thread): remembers "plugin preferences", installing plug-in not yet supported.
