I realize there are already buttons for importing and exporting rule sets in the preference pages for PMD. However, for new workspaces I want to import all preferences for all plug-ins in a single step, using the standard Eclipse dialog.
Currently I have to configure PMD manually for each new workspace, or run black magic shell scripts that may stop working with the update.
If all PMD preferences are already managed with the Eclipse preference API, resolving this issue should be straight-forward, following these instructions:

Thanks in advance for looking into this!

Is it possible now to export and import the pmd preferences or is it still not supported?
