Eclipse Config Sync Resolution

Sometimes the config of Eclipse can become out of sync with itself - what with all those plugins being installed and uninstalled all the time; you don't keep them all! So you start getting weird installation errors because the uninstall sometimes expects default files to be present which were, in fact, superceded by some other plugin - so they don't get uninstalled correctly.

What you can do about this is to save the current preferences, make the required changes in the file that gets saved and then import the new file as preferences.

• File > Export / [preferences]


• Make changes


• File > Import / [preferences]
