I've never kept my projects in the workspace. Perhaps that's an Xcode
legacy -- but Eclipse's workspace can be brittle enough which for me
warrants avoiding that scenario. e.g., if your projects are playing up
for no apparent reason, it can sometimes be worth creating a fresh
workspace and importing your projects (not copying into mind you) into
your new workspace. Naturally it means your new workspace's
preferences need setting up again...
However, what you can be doing is highlighting your project in the
explorer, and option+return or Project > Properties and using specific
settings for each project (which can simply be the same as what's in
your preferences). That way the settings stick with the project no
matter which workspace they're imported into.
