example preferences

Here is a new version of the example prefs. It is a work in progress but it works for the basic case and gives a proof of concept. 

Also in the JAR I included some classes (AbstractPreferenceNode and PreferencePath) that I have been working on. The node class will (hopefully) be API in 3.3 and allow people to easily subclass and create their own preference nodes. 

Currently I have the preferences being written to <metadata>/exampleScope/.settings/<qualifier>.prefs but obviously that is not optimal.

Here is my latest updated patch - I have added a preference page for moving between contexts (which isn't working) - see ScopeMovingPreferencePage.

Reopening. This might be considered in the incubator

Comment 12 Stephan Strittmatter 2008-04-22 09:47:28 EDT

I think it is very importent for a company to have alwys the same environment and settings! I really expect a solution as mentioned already in Bug 160452 months ago.
