Where are my preferences stored?
You can save a copy of your Eclipse preferences.
Description
I would like to export my Eclipse preferences before performing a upgrade or switching to a new computer.
Solution
The preferences are stored in various locations depending on the
plugin:
| Preference | Location |
|---|---|
| Perspective layout | \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench\workbench.xmi |
| The default export folder | \workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings\com.ixiasoft.eclipse.dita.prefs |
| Oxygen license key | %APPDATA%\com.oxygenxml.author\license.xml. For example, C:\Users\janedoe\AppData\Roaming\com.oxygenxml.author |
| Oxygen preferences such as tags view, Show profiling attributes, and track changes always on. |
