From http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2014/05/10-ideas-to-improve-eclipse-ide-usability.html

"Import from Eclipse installation" should also consider importing Preferences, and some other "state" of the installation.
Comment 1 Sarika Sinha CLA 2014-05-28 05:01:01 EDT 
It should be extendable so that egit preferences can also be imported if other source workspace location is provided.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
