RSE should provide the ability to dictate which connection types are enabled by default. This can be done in a number of ways. For example: 1) Extension point that allows me to specify what the "active" connection types are. 2) A setting in the config.ini so that I can set the default for my product.
I think that RSE supports configuring the defaults for enabled system types already. These are stored as a Preference setting, and Preferences can be changed by the "plugin_customization.ini" file -- we do it in our own product already. For more details, see http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/topic/org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/product_configproduct.htm I think what's missing is documentation in the RSE ISV Docs what the actual Preference slots are. Dave can you add such documentation? I changed the Summary accordingly (old value was: "RSE should allow products to dictate which connection types are enabled by default.") Related bugs are also bug 152580, bug 192208 and bug 197114.
Do we have any more information (documentation or otherwise) on how to set the "active" systems in the plugin_customization.ini? What is the status of this bug?
Here is the docs that we currently have, and where added docs should go: http://dsdp.eclipse.org/help/latest/topic/org.eclipse.rse.doc.isv/reference/misc/runtime-options.html After looking at the code in RSEPreferencesManager, I tried this: * In my eclipse-SDK-3.4M5 installation, edit file eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.sdk_3.4.0.v20080107\plugin_customization.ini * Add following 3 lines at the end: # Disable some system types for RSE org.eclipse.rse.core/org.eclipse.rse.systemtype.unix.systemType.enabled = false org.eclipse.rse.core/org.eclipse.rse.systemtype.telnet.systemType.enabled = false * Start Eclipse on a clean workspace --> System types UNIX and Telnet were disabled, as expected. So in general, the key to use is the system type id + "systemType.enabled = false". Hope this helps -- DaveD can you update the docs please?
