Using Oomph
Commonly used Preferences
Eclipse has many workspace-specific preferences. Oomph helps us set the preferences across all workspaces.
Oomph can manage following preferences and by enabling the last preference, any preference set later can be managed by Oomph:
- Refresh Resources Automatically?
- Show Line Numbers in Editors?
- Check Spelling in Text Editors?
- Execute Jobs in Background?
- Encode Text Files with UTF-8?
