  From the 2.1 plan: <em>&quot;Provide user preferences. It should be possible to store user preferences 
    that are not specific to a workspace separate from the workspace, so that 
    they can be used in any workspace. [Platform Core, Platform UI] [Themes: User 
    experience; Rich client platform]&quot; (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36965">36965</a>)</em>
<p>    
    From the 3.0 plan:
    <em>
    &quot;The way that Eclipse deals with preferences should be improved. The workbench 
presentation of preferences generally uses a component-oriented hierarchy, 
which is not always the best choice for users. The UI should present 
preferences in such a way that users can readily discover them. Some 
preference settings have scopes (e.g., workspace-wide vs. per project). The UI 
should help the user to visualize these scopes. For team-wide uniformity, some 
preferences settings (e.g., compiler options) need to be shared (or imposed) 
across teams. The UI should also facilitate this. [Platform Core; Platform UI; 
Text; JDT UI; JDT Core]&quot; (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71124">71124</a>)
