Preferences page [message #736717] |

We are currently working on an E4 application which must include a Preferences page. We have seen that the EPreferences project has been developed to provide an API for managing the preferences but it seems that no existing project aims at managing the graphical part.
We would like to integrate the Eclipse community and contribute to the Eclipse e4 project by developing a generic Preferences page, similar to the Eclipse 3.x one. If it isn't possible, we will have to develop our own graphical page, which could be moved if a standard one is developed in the future. Our main idea is to base on the EPreferences project and to extend the EMF model to provide a Preferences object which could be use by any application.
As we aren't very familiar with the notion of community, we aren't sure to be on the right way. We invite everyone to bring comments on this. We hope to begin a discussion that will enable us to clarify the functionality that would be beneficial to the Eclipse e4 project.

As we haven't received any response concerning this issue by the mailing list (except the one of Brian, thanks for it), we have started to work on it on our side.
We are going to start the specification phase and we would like to submit the result of it to the e4 community but we don't have any idea about the process to follow. So we have some questions:
- Is there any existing format for the specifications?
- Where can we find any information on the validation process?
- Is there any documentation on the different steps for contributing to an e4 feature?
It would also be very interesting for us to have some information about the committers team.

I was asked about the licensing of the code that I posted above -- for those countries that do not have a concept of 'public domain', please consider the code as being licensed under the UnLicense (unlicense.org).
