Description gregory tauveron CLA 2012-01-23 09:57:21 EST 
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?

I haven't heard it to be in somebody's plans. Unless somebody from the community is motivated enough to contribute.
