Description Jan Koehnlein CLA 2015-02-25 09:46:38 EST 
In Xbase, we have a couple of preferences linked to JDT preferences, e.g. for compiler errors and warnings, or for the compilation target. The respective widgets in the preferences dialog are not updated when the JDT prefs change, only when the dialog is reopended.

Here is an example of the confusing behavior
- Open the properties of an Xtend project
- Go to Xtend > Compiler Settings and enable project specific settings
- Make sure "Use source compatibility level from Java settings" is selected
- Change to Java > Compiler, enable project specific settings and choose a different compliance level
- Go back to Xtend > Compiler: The combo still shows the now invalid previous Java settings
- Apply and reopen the preferences: Combo has changed.
