Default preferences for RTC

How would I go about setting the preference at the project level? Would existing project members get the preference update the next time they connect to the project?
Thanks for the other info, btw. Very helpful!
Hmm... just to be clear when I said "project" I meant "project" in the sense of a resource in the Eclipse Client UI. I realized afterwards that it could have been confused with RTC's "project area" concept.
Project-based preferences are common for sharing things like compiler error/warning settings as well as code formatting, etc. The easiest way to set them is through the Eclipse Client UI. In the Package Explorer select your project, right click, choose "Properties", and then the page for the options you wish to change. (e.g. Java Compiler) There should be a check-box at the top of the preference dialog which says "Enable project specific settings". Enabling this checkbox will cause a file to be created and stored in your project (and thus stored in the repository). Other team members will receive this file (and the appropriate preference values) when they load the project from the repository.
