I agree. Preference blobs, even for something as simple as a list, are
unfortunately common. XML, JSON, or X-separated lists are everywhere in
the Eclipse preference, in part because some areas of the RCP offer no
support for the rich "tree of key-value pairs" model, the existence of
o.e.jface.preference.ListEditor.parseString [1] being the prime example.
If Oomph would learn to add or remove items to lists kept in a single
key-value pair, that would be awesome, but I fear nigh impossible to
implement without dozens of heuristics. :-(
