The description of the plugin and the announcement which I found googling around (https://opensource.googleblog.com/2010/05/introducing-workspace-mechanic...) 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?
After Neil shared the editorship of the marketplace the installation link could be fixed. Still one of the best workspace / preference synchronizing tools available.
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.

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!

The Link is broken

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