Hi everyone,

I have previously exported the default preferences but accidentally deleted it. Is there anywhere I can download the default set of preferences from? I am running the latest version on Mac OS X.

Thanks, Dany.

A: 

The simplest way would be to:

  • do a fresh installation of your Eclipse in another directory
  • export the default preferences of that instance
  • import them in your existing Eclipse.

Thanks - I already tried that but it doesn't restore everything. I applied some theme by importing someone else's .epf file. Importing an original one did not restore the colours in the editor.

@DanyW: "I applied importing someone else's .epf file"... then those settings were no longer "default" ones, were they?
