Description Phillip Avery CLA 2005-09-20 10:28:48 EDT
Many  of users would likely go to JSP preferences first to configure things such as:

- formatting options (for JSP/Java sections).
- Java highlighting style in JSPs
- content assist proposal order

We can take advantage of the linking feature in preference pages to "redirect"
users to the appropriate place to change the "shared" Java options.

We can put the links on their own page, or on the page where users would likely
go to find the JSP preference (eg. JSP Styles page to change JSP-Java
highlighting) (maybe both?).

Of course the underlying language isn't always Java , but it usually is...

This is a great idea, but we don't have people to work on this just now.  I don't know how much tracking down of pages would be involved.  We might still find time for it for 3.0, but we'd accept high quality patches.

There are links on the "Web->JSP Files->Editor" preference page that send users to the HTML and XML preferences pages but none for Java, this is probably the best place to add links.
