  • Size of views

  • Last opened perspective or saved perspectives
    • Is persisted when the same workspace is used but in can’t be shared using user or common levels

  • Working Sets

  • Secure storage information
    • This is preserved in $HOME/.eclipse/org.eclipse.equinox.security and is not handled by DVT

  • Proxy settings (Preferences -> General -> Network Connections)
    • This is preserved in $HOME/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform* directories and is not handled by DVT

  • User installed plugins in a shared installation

  • Settings used by other plugins that are not stored using the workspace preferences engine
    • These settings can be stored anywhere so is not possible to handle them
