Wizard to setup eclipse rdz workspace needed

If we install RDz, we have also to provide a standard eclipse workspace for our customers, otherwise they are not able to use the tool. We copy our "template workspace", but in this workspace there is a lot of information about the person, who created the workspace (e.g. after connection, there are more than 17 files and folder with my Username or Machine-Name). Also reset of some settings or migration is very difficult, because RDz has so many places to store settings.

If we provide a eclipse workspace we need to update:
1) Import preferences (from file)
2) Import z/os Connection
3) Manual change of Connection Code-Page MVS-File (not possible with #2)
4) Import z/os FileMapping
5) Import local property group
6) Add Filters
7) Import DB2-Connections
8) Change Fault Analyser Connection

No included in the workspace are the "menumanager" functions. Those we have to set in the installation.

We also setup a few other things, but those 8 points are the most used. We want to have a tool inside eclipse or outside eclipse (batch) that runs under the customers and creates a new workspace with a wizzard like function. In this tool he can choose the needed/wanted imports and the tool does update the current workspace (or if possible generate the workspace, if the tool is outside eclipse).
