The Workspace Mechanic automates maintenance of your Eclipse environment by tweaking preferences, adding extension locations, and so on. You can use it to:
- Create a consistent environment among groups as large as the entire company, your local team, or even among your own many workspaces
- Save time setting up new workspaces
- Create tasks that ensure your favorite new preferences are applied to all your current and future workspaces. (This is one of our favorite features!)
- Continuously check your IDE Preferences against the checked in preferences (all workspace mechanic properties files can be checked in into teams favorite scm)
- Ensure that whole team is using the same settings (save actions, file encoding (utf-8))

Sounds promising but where are instructions/user manual?
Submitted by Michael Moser on Sat, 11/07/2020 - 12:52
The description of the plugin and the announcement which I found googling around (https://opensource.googleblog.com/2010/05/introducing-workspace-mechani…) sound quite promising but how does one use it? I found no instructions, user manual nor description. Searching eclipse's help didn't reveal anything, either. So - how does one actually make use of this feature??? What do I need to do to make this copy my settings from an eclipse installation A to some (existing or new) installation B?
Marketplace Installation has been fixed

After Neil shared the editorship of the marketplace the installation link could be fixed. Still one of the best workspace / preference synchronizing tools available.

I have updated to use the links provided by Alfred Schmid, and also added Alfred as an editor of this Marketplace entry.
It worked to me!

Thanks, Alfred Schmid.

Note that I am not an author of this plugin. However it is a popular plugin that has not been submitted to the marketplace by the authors. I believe it benefits the marketplace and Eclipse ecosystem generally to have this entry, even though submitted by a third party.

returns 404. That’s an error. The requested URL /git.update/mechanic was not found on this server. That’s all we know.
