title: How to transfer Eclipse workspace and project from Windows to Linux and Mac
body: <p>We have a a product developed on Windows for years. The product is composed of one Eclipse workspace and about 20 projects.
  On Windows, we ask every developer check out projects into d:\dev\product folder, and copy a unified Workspace to d:\dev\prod_workspace. This way, whenever a new machine is set, we simply copy files to the same folder, and we can start working immediately.</p>
  
  <p>Now we need to move our development environment to Linux and Mac. But there's no D:\ on Unix. And home folder for Linux is mostly like /home/username and /Users/username for Mac. We found Eclipse keeps absolute path in workspace when referring to projects, so simply copy workspace over does not work anymore. Even when we manually create/configure workspace on a Linux machine, it still cannot be copied over to another user, because the absolute path is changed.</p>
  
  <p>I guess our goal is to allow easy setup of development environment. Do you have any suggestion to move eclipse workspace around?</p>
