How many of you guys are using workspace mechanic [1]? From my experience it goes a long way in the desired direction. Given that workspace mechanic is looking for a new maintainer, maybe "we" want to adopt it in some way?

This is mostly because creating a UI for this is hard (we explored some things back in the 3.0 days when we introduced the scope mechanism). *From:*cross-project-issues-dev-boun...@eclipse.org <mailto:cross-project-issues-dev-boun...@eclipse.org> [mailto:cross-project-issues-dev-boun...@eclipse.org] *On Behalf Of *Henrik *Sent:* July-15-13 12:45 PM *To:* Cross project issues *Subject:* [cross-project-issues-dev] Preferences (topic was touched in "Eclipse smells kind of dead" thread) Hi all, I know that preferences can be imported/exported. Yet I find it a bit cumbersome to care about that every time I create a new workspace. Wouldn't it make sense to have preferences arranged in several layers similar to git: system/user/workspace? Also I could imagine to offer a web page with collections of preference settings. They could be ordered in categories (maybe aligned to the packaged Eclipse installations). And we could offer a possibility for users to cast their vote to be able to rank the settings. -Henrik _______________________________________________ cross-project-issues-dev mailing list cross-project-issues-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev
