No, there wouldn't have been. But with an application as complicated as 
Eclipse there have got to be a whole bunch of buggy execution paths. And 
sooner or later the complicated state machine that backs up the GUI will 
get out of whack...which is why you had buttons that showed up disabled 
when they ought to have been enabled.

If IDE restarts or trying different means to the same end don't work, 
then cleaning ferociously is sometimes the only option.

I tend to avoid using Eclipse (or NB) for certain things, like 
complicated version control tasks, some SOAP web services tasks, WAR/EAR 
deployment etc. Too many problems over the years. YMMV.

I tend to use the vanilla settings myself (with the exception of a 
handful of settings like "show line numbers" that are trivial). I'm 
aware though of the generalities if Eclipse settings export/import.

If you look at IDE options under Preferences, e.g. Java->Code Style 
options, you'll see that a number of option groups have import/export 
capability.

Also, while this is dated 
(http://eclipse.dzone.com/news/create-new-eclipse-workspace-w) I suspect 
that experimentation along the lines of the article will work for Indigo 
or Juno also. This is probably more what you want.

I agree that for Tomcat in particular this is nice to be able to do.
