distributing eclipse build, debug, and external tool configurations to my coworkers

I'm building some fancy build debug and external tool configs for an eclipse project so the build button wil开发者_高级运维l build locally, the debug button will debug remotely, and the external tool button** will deploy to a test box.

I find these really useful and would like a way to package them up and distribute them to coworkers. I dont want to push the whole project configuration on people because everyone has different project configurations.

ps: any background on how tasks are stored and how to import them would also be well appreciated.

You can mark a configuration as shared and it put it into your project as a file. You can then add that file to source control and it will appear in other developers' environments. On the Common tab, you switch from Local file to Shared file. I think this only works if you've got the .project and other configuration files under source control.

I just noticed that you're using maven, so you probably don't have the .project under source control. You may have to get each developer to manually add the launch file into their project. I don't know.
