[e4-dev] Preferences page

[etudes-developpements@xxxxxxxx]

Hello,

We are currently working on an E4 application
which must include a Preferences page. We have seen that the EPreferences
project has been developed to provide an API for managing the preferences
but it seems that no existing project aims at managing the graphical part.

We would like to integrate the Eclipse
community and contribute to the Eclipse e4 project by developing a generic
Preferences page, similar to the Eclipse 3.x one. If it isn't possible,
we will have to develop our own graphical page, which could be moved if
a standard one is developed in the future. Our main idea is to base on
the EPreferences project and to extend the EMF model to provide a Preferences
object which could be use by any application.

We invite everyone to bring comments
on this. We hope to begin a discussion that will enable us to clarify the
functionality that would be beneficial to the Eclipse e4 project.

Best regards,
Anthony Couraud
