It seems Eclipse only save preferences when it exits. The problem is that Eclipse may have crashed. :-( This especially true when I import a number of new projects which typically causing Eclipse to do a full rebuild and that in term causing Out of Memory error easily.
Moving to Platform UI
Use File>Export...>Preferences to export to a file, and File>Import...>Preferences to import into a new workspace. PW
Doesn't the Apply button on Preference page do that? I tried to set a preference, press Apply, then kill Eclipse IDE, restart; and preferences seem to have been persisted. If so, what's the best way to handle this outdated report? Put WORKSFORME with Target Milestone set to oldest version known to have the fix?
