Jalopy stores settings as binary files inside its settings directory. The files are not directly editable, instead a GUI tool is provided for configuration that lets you import/export code conventions to share your settings in a textual format.
In order to export your settings, follow the steps as described below:
-
Open the preferences dialog. On Mac OS X you use Eclipse->Preferences... On
other platforms the dialog is available through Window->Preferences...
Select the Jalopy item on the left pane. In order to quickly locate the item, you might want to type "Jalopy" in the filter field at the top.
-
Press the Export... button to open the export dialog
- Specify the file where your settings should be written. Or type one directly into the text field
- Finally press the OK button to flush the settings to disk
