[platform-core-dev] Re: Initial User Settings document
|
A scenario which I think might not yet been handled is a combination of
scenarios 4, 5 and 6: project settings that override workspace settings and
which the user can share between workspaces: Currently I can set the
compiler preferences per workspace and I can override them per project. I
can share (or better: reuse) the workspace settings by exporting and
re-importing into another workspace but there's no way to share the
project's compiler preference. User preferences should handle such a case.
So the summarized scenario would be: store project based settings in the
user area and let those override existing workspace settings.
Regarding the implementation I assume you already investigated whether the
new 1.4.1 Preferences API can be used or not.

The initial document describing user settings problem has been posted at
the following URL:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-vcm-home/docs/online/team3.0/settings.html
The term "user settings" can mean different things to different people so
the first goal is to ensure all of the relevant scenarios are documented.
If you know of a scenario that is not covered, please let me know either by
annotating the bug report
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36965) or posting on the
platform-core-dev mailing list (I have cross-posted to eclipse-dev because
of the broad nature of the problem). Also, a first cut at defining a
solution is also included so feel free to comment on that as well.
