Re: [platform-core-dev] User Settings proposed solution document



After reading through the paper I have the following questions and
concerns:

- the document states that changes made to shared project settings will be
loaded automatically because the settings will be in contained in the
workspace in one or more IFile(s). How will the automatic update be
achieved? Normally a refresh is either initiated by the user or by the
optional auto-refresh plug-in. Will you add a background job that refreshes
the files?

- how will platform settings be applied to the workspace? Will there be a
UI that allows me to reject such settings? I think from user perspective
both platform and shared project settings are both shared settings and
should behave more or less the same i.e. update process and UI should be
very similar.

- the JDK level as stated in the 3.0 plan is clearly JDK level 1.4
therefore the statement "...we cannot depend on 1.4 API..." is not correct.
The design decision should not be impaired just to be 1.3 compatible.
