Exporting Pesky Eclipse .epf Preference File

If you're like me, you tinker with the look of your eclipse IDE.  It's probably a good idea to export your preferences, in the remote chance that Eclipse has a melt down.

If you think going to Windows > Preferences is the logical place to go, you'd be dead wrong.  Instead, navigate to File > Export.  Under the "General" node, select "Preferences".  I created a folder in my workspace called, coincidentally, "preferences".  I dont know if the automatic overwrite works, there's no mention of it in the eclipse documentation.  What the heck, it's 2014, let's see if your preferences file gets updated after you tinker.  If you dont think it does, just re-do the steps here.
