N20040318

Some JDT Core tests failed in this nightly build because 
Preferences.defaultPropertyNames() doesn't include the properties that have the 
default String value.

Code in PreferenceForwarder.setDefault(String, String) looks like it forget the 
name of the property if its value is "".

See bug 51309.

The spec for Preferences.defaultPropertyNames says that it doesn't return names
for defaults which are the same as the default-default value. The implementation
was incorrectly storing those defaults.

Marking as invalid.
Comment 2 DJ Houghton CLA 2004-03-18 08:10:57 EST 
Note that if most people agree, we could probably look into changing the spec to
match the behaviour.
