I have created a couple of java working sets for a project in my workspace and want to share them with other people (using different workspaces). Is there a way to export them?

A:
You can try and export (as in "copy to another people workspace metadata directory"):
</path/to/.metadata>\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench\workingsets.xml
This is the file referencing your working sets.

Can someone else working on the project then import that file somehow?

@Scobal: someone else can work, then copy that file in his workspace (and restart Eclipse). But if he had defined its own working sets, that means he needs to *merge* your file in his in order to not override its own current working sets.

I'm hoping there's a way to check that file into svn and from a clean checkout just import the working sets file (rather than having to copy it into a workspace), which in turn brings in the referenced projects.

@Scobal: I agree, but right now, I didn't find a clean way to do an export/import. I would be curious to know if copying that file in another workspace works though.

Hi,
download the AnyEdit addon:
and then use the following work through:
- Via the menu bar: File > “Export…”
- Select “General” / “Working Sets”
- Click “Next >”
- Select the working set(s) you want to export and where you want to export the file.
- Click “Finish” to perform the export.
