Import Eclipse Settings: Windows

1. Close Eclipse.
2. Open Windows Explorer and open the folder of your local dfdl git repository.
3. Navigate to the following file: daffodil-core/src/main/resources/eclipse-settings.zip
4. Copy this file.
5. Navigate to the location of your Eclipse workspace.

...

1. Navigate to ".metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/".
2. Here, paste the eclipse-settings.zip file.
3. Right-click eclipse-settings.zip ->  7 Zip -> Extract Here
4. You may be asked if you'd like to replace the files.  Select yes to all.

Import Eclipse Settings: Linux

Open a Terminal and cd to your local dfdl git repository.  Likely "/home/username/git/dfdl" or "~/git/dfdl".

$ cd ~/git/dfdl
$ cp daffodil-core/src/main/resources/eclipse_settings.zip ~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/
$ cd ~/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/
$ ls -la

The above commands essentially copy the eclipse_settings.zip file to the "org.eclipse.core.runtime" folder of your workspace.

The 'ls -la' command should show you that "org.eclipse.core.runtime" contains the zip file and a hidden ".settings" folder.

Now we need to unzip the file and replace the contents of the ".settings" folder.

$ unzip eclipse_settings.zip

You will be asked if you want to replace.  Enter "A".  This will replace all of the files.

Close the Terminal.
