Java Source Formatter is Applied but not really

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an epf with your java source formatter changes
2. Create a new workspace and apply the changes when prompted by workspace 
mechanic
3. Format the a java file. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
For me it is not applying the imported formatter. When I look in preferences 
the formatter is selected, but it is not using the settings. 

To work around this, I select a different formatter and apply the preference 
change. Then I change it back to the formatter that workspace mechanic imported 
and apply the change. After I do that it will use the formatter correctly.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Kepler
Windows 8.1
Workspace Mechanic 0.4.0

Please provide any additional information below.

I can confirm that.
Have the same issues here:
Eclipse Juno and Kepler
Windows 7
Workspace Mechanic 0.3.4 (first version I used) and 0.4.0

I think it is related to #22.

The formatter profile is modified and set by Mechanic, but Eclipse will 
actually apply the settings only on changing them editing the profile or 
switching between them directly from the preferences page.

To verify this, start recording changes, switch to a different profile, then 
stop the recording: you will see many properties changed, not (only) the 
profile.

To have the things working, a method should be find to export a whole 
formatting profile as list of actual formatting properties.
