Important project properties are not shared in a team environment. From a Project's properties, e.g. (right click on a project->properties) -Debugger Source Lookup information -javadoc location -launch configuration type -Launcher -Runtime JRE Since these options are specific to a project they should be shared along with the project in team. I suspect that there are other preferences found in Window- >Preferences that should be shared as well. These settings can be hand configured, but our customers are starting to see their workspace include dozens of projects & dozens of developers. Consequently, hand tuning projects is no longer an option.
Resource properties are not shared. Currently we only have the concepts of session and persistent properties, not server properties. In order for properties to be shared they would probably have to be stored in files in the project content area, depending on the specifics of the team provider. Moving to Platform/VCM for comment on shared properties.
The customer that raised this issue is also attempting to share workspace settings that aren't project specific. E.g. they want to enforce code formatting styles, so sharing those settings are important. So, the customer is asking for something even more general than what I initially stated. This sounds almost like a '.solution' concept where a solution file is a project independent mechanism for sharing workspace settings. For project specific information that doesn't require its own .XXX file then it would make sense to roll those properties into the .project. I understand that the above suggestion is terribly oversimplifying reality, but it should give you a feel for the requirement.
Agree, would be great, but we weren't able to solve for 2.0. Bugzilla note: reporter can set severity (how it impacts you) but its the owner's job to set priority (when it should be done wrt other bugs outstanding). Consequently I've put priority down to P3 since we can't do for 2.0.
