How to streamline/automate the configuration of Eclipse?
Given N developers running a mixture of Ubuntu and Mac OS X, all with the same version of Eclipse, how to make sure that:
Each developer, on top of his favourite "Available Software Sites" selection, has a common set of installation sources?
Each developer has an easy (automated?) way of installing a base set of plug-ins?
Each developer can just as easily install a custom plugin developed in-house and distributed over the local network?
No automatically deployed plugins conflict with any others a developer might already be using?
I would post this to serverfault.com if it wasn't that I am more interested in a "scripting" answer than a traditional "system management" solution... ;-)
