Following on from my Installing Eclipse post, I put together an empty workspace using my recommendations, as well as a couple from the Ivan Moore and Mike Hill session Programming in the Small.
Unzip the template into your workspaces directory and rename it to whatever you want your new workspace to be called. When you start Eclipse, browse to the new workspace directory and have all your code templates set up already.
Download the Eclipse Workspace Template
Please feel free to make suggestions for further improvement.
Did you manage to find how and where to update Eclipse in order to get “tempalte” (default) workspace after creating New workspace?
Changing the default template requires modifying one of the Eclipse jar files… I forget which one it is now, but it's far simpler to just unzip the template any time you need a new workspace.
