Simon,
Just an FYI... The Oomph project has an EMF model that wrap Eclipse's
preferences. This allows all preferences to be inspected (and even
changed), including secure preferences. When the model is opened in an
editor, that editor will select any preference that changes. This
aspect is very crude compared to what's in the blog, but we often use it
like a "spy" to figure out where preferences changed via the UI are
actually stored in the preference store. The primary purpose of this
preference model is for use in other Oomph models...
Cheers,
Ed

Dear e4 developers,
I like to contribute the Preference Spy, which I introduced in the
http://blog.vogella.com/2014/12/28/preferences-spy-for-eclipse-ide-and-rcp/
blog entry , to the E4 tools, so that it becomes an official spy, like
the Model Spy and others.
We at the vogella GmbH already use this Preference Spy a lot,
especially for the saneclipse project.
Olivier Prouvost already gave the Preference Spy a try and explained
how to embed the Preference Spy as official E4 SpyPart.
All necessary information can be obtained from the blog entry
http://blog.vogella.com/2014/12/28/preferences-spy-for-eclipse-ide-and-rcp/,
like an introduction for it, the github repository
(https://github.com/vogellacompany/PreferencesSpy) or the p2
updatesite
(http://dl.bintray.com/vogellacompany/eclipse-preference-spy/).
What do you think about the plan to integrate the Preference Spy as
official SpyPart?
Comments or Github issues are welcome and appreciated. Thanks in advance.
best regards,
Simon Scholz
