Cannot import perspective in Eclipse Kepler

Question

I used to share Eclipse CDT perspectives across machines and workspaces of the same machine by exporting preferences to a file and then importing it where needed.

It worked in Juno version but now when I am doing the same in Kepler the perspective simply is not listed though it appears in:

org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.workbench.prefs
org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.prefs
org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.debug.ui.prefs

How can I debug this? Any logs to check?

Answer 1

I think this is probably covered by these Eclipse bugs 385920 and 378811. Scheduled to be fixed in Eclipse 4.4M5
