30 :     From the 2.1 plan: <em>&quot;Provide user preferences. It should be possible
31 :     to store user preferences that are not specific to a workspace separate
32 :     from the workspace, so that they can be used in any workspace. [Platform
33 :     Core, Platform UI] [Themes: User experience; Rich client platform]&quot;
34 :     (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36965">36965</a>)</em>
35 :     <p> From the 3.0 plan: <em> &quot;The way that Eclipse deals with preferences
36 :     should be improved. The workbench presentation of preferences generally
37 :     uses a component-oriented hierarchy, which is not always the best choice
38 :     for users. The UI should present preferences in such a way that users
39 :     can readily discover them. Some preference settings have scopes (e.g.,
40 :     workspace-wide vs. per project). The UI should help the user to visualize
41 :     these scopes. For team-wide uniformity, some preferences settings (e.g.,
42 :     compiler options) need to be shared (or imposed) across teams. The UI
43 :     should also facilitate this. [Platform Core; Platform UI; Text; JDT UI;
