Saving view layout in eclipse IDE

I have a two-screen desktop on which I have arranged eclipse's views in a specific layout. You may call it perspective A.

When I connect to that computer from a laptop, I have to rearrange the views so they could fit into a single smaller scree. You may call it perspective B.

Then when I'm back to the desktop I have to rearrange the views into the perspective A layout.

Question: how can I save these layouts (or "perspectives") so that I could restore the desired layout whenever I need it?

I have just achieved this in Eclipse (Kepler) by:

Right clicking an existing customised perspective, and clicking 'save as'.

Then selecting a custom name.

How To Add Perspectives In Eclipse

Personally I would have separate workspaces configured on each machine that share the same source code. Then use something like workspace mechanic to keep the preferences in sync.
