Shared conf for workspace mechanic with dropbox

#Workspace Mechanic# This plugin allows the team to share the same code convention parametrization in Eclipse. ##Installation## Use the following update site : http://workspacemechanic.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/git.update/mechanic ##Configuration##

  • close Eclipse
  • run the following command in a terminal :

mkdir -p ~/.eclipse/mechanic && ln -s "$HOME/Dropbox/the_folder_where_your_conf_is_stored/" $HOME/.eclipse/mechanic

It will create a symbolic link between the central configuration directory (on DropBox) and the default directory where Workspace Mechanic looks for configuration files (~/.eclipse/mechanic). So every update on the configuration file on dropbox will be reflected for each user automatically.
