same preferences for team members [message #255260] Thu, 24 June 2004 11:13 Go to next message

Hello

I want to make sure that every team member has the same preferences and
can't chance it.

How can I do this?

My concept was to overwrite the plug-in settings with the command line
argument -pluginCustomization but that chances only the default values. So
the user modified setting won't be overwritten.

How can I forbid the overwriting? Is it possible to lock some preferences
pages like java->compiler. Does anybody have a tip or an other idea?

Thanks
Pascal

files. that should do it.

right, but what if they go, download eclipse and put the real plugin.xml
files? idea: block internet access.
they could bring them on cd's! idea: search them upon entry to the building.
well, they could memorize the darn extensions! 2 options: remove the
classes too and build eclipse from source or lobotomize team members daily.

now those liberal sissies won't be able to change the color of they
current line highlighter.

cheers :)

Thanks for your help. It's a possible solution.

The workplace isn't nasty. I'm looking only for solution how I can
configure eclipse very easy and automatically, example a ini-file (for
pluginCustomization) in cvs. When everybody can change his preferences a
setting update doesn’t work.

I would like to overwrite the customized preferences and not the defaults.
For that I need a plug-in, which overwrites the entries in the directory
workspace/.metadata/.plugin. So the user has the default preferences after
every start-up.

Does a plugin with this functionality already exist?

Thanks
Pascal
