Build Identifier: M20110909-1335 When I define and add an error parser for my makefile project and then export my properties, I couldn't import it in my new workspace. Every custom parameters are imported but error parser are not. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to preferences then edit error parsers 2.Add (an error parser) 3.Name is BOOST Test Error Parser 4.Add (a parser option) 5.Set the parser like this Severity: Error Pattern: (.*)\((\d*)\): (error in .*) File: $1 Line: $2 Description: $3 6.Apply then OK 7.Select File/Export/General/Preferences 8.Select Export All and set the file name to export data to my_eclipse_preferences.epf 9.Clic finish 10.Import that preference (import all) file into an other workspace and restart. I do not have my error parser imported.
An error parser is more complex object than a property-value pair so you cannot export it like that. But it should be doable to a determined developer to add Import/Export buttons to Error Parsers preference page. In the meantime, you can "export" them by hand copying file .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core/model.extensions.xml into your other workspace.
Do you think that feature will be available in a future release?
