Convert EPF to PREFS

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert EPF to PREFS?
Yes - EPF converts to PREFS.

Eclipse stores live preferences as per-bundle .prefs files under .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/. Importing an .epf writes these; conceptually the .epf is a portable bundle of the same key=value data. Use Eclipse's Import, not a file converter.
