Description DJ Houghton CLA 2008-01-17 12:02:17 EST 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #195073 +++

Build ID: 3.3

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Start Eclipse on a new workspace
2. Modify some preferences
3. Export the preferences to a file
4. Switch to a new workspace
5. Import the preferences
6. Restart Eclipse


More information:

I've also had cases where I change a preference, then restart eclipse and the preference is not remembered, but I don't have exact steps to reproduce.  The steps above should be reproducible and will hopefully lead to root cause.
