    Have you tried dropbox ? Or just Git ? – Vinz243 Feb 13 '14 at 07:35
  • +1 for the Git suggestion. You won't get far without Version Control there. Copy/pasting your workspace will sooner or later result in different states and is just tiresome. You could try to run Eclipse directly from a USB stick, but this is likely to slow down your IDE. – Calon Feb 14 '14 at 09:53
  • thank you for your information , But can you tell me more about Git, please? – Soran Mahmood Feb 23 '14 at 08:14

What do you want to achieve, actually?

Because the workspace is supposed to be user specific. It contains things like settings, how perspectives are setup, which view to show where. Which means if two users share a workspace they will continually write of each others settings.

And to enforce this, as soon as you starts Eclipse with a workspace, it is locked preventing someone else to use it.

So sharing workspace is not a good idea.

What I guess you really want to achieve is to share the projects between several developers. Using project sets is a good way to do that. Check out my answer for a different question regarding this.

If you want to share preferences with other users, then check out this question for advice on import/export of preferences.
