I have imported a .EPF Eclipse preferences file from here via File > Import > General > Preferences
. The preferences file changes the colorization for the TeXlipse editor.
How do I remove/reverse the changes that this .EPF import has made?

Best Answer
You can reverse these theme color changes in one of two ways:
GUI Method
Window -> Preferences
. In the popup that is displayed, expand the menu for the language you're interested in (in this example, it will be Java). Navigate toJava -> Editor -> Syntax Coloring
. Click theRestore Defaults
button. Click theApply
button.Screenshots
Direct Method
Your preferences are stored in a directory in the workspace. Its relative path is
.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings
. If you delete everything in this directory and restart Eclipse, all settings will be reverted to their default values. (Note: all settings, not just necessarily the ones you're interested in.) Alternatively, you can try deleting specific.prefs
files in an attempt to isolate the specific preferences to reset (for example,org.eclipse.ui.prefs
andorg.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs
seem promising, but I haven't tested this).Also, since these preferences are workspace-specific, you can simply create a new workspace and move your existing projects to it.
