Export single Eclipse Perspective and Settings

Question

Hello Guys,

i customized my Eclipse for a special Latex Perspective and saved this perspective as "MyLatex". I evenso added shortcuts in my texlipse preferences, so that i can type "tab"+strg+space to insert a table.

Now i would like to offer this to friends. I found out that i can use Export->General->Settings, but this exports ALL perspectives.

Is there any way to export only the perspective "myLatex" and the texlipse editor templates?

Best regards Philipp

I don't know of a nice way to export/import one perspective from eclipse, but maybe try the following:

open this file -

workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workbench.xml

and copy the part that relates to your new perspective to the same file for the users you want to share it to. If this doesn't work you may have to replace the entire file in their workspace with your one.
