[eclipse-dev] Request for users' preference information
|
Some users have expressed concerns over the number and purpose of
preferences in Eclipse. In an effort to reduce the number of preferences
and make them more useful, the UI team is seeking information from Eclipse
users.
We would appreciate it if users could export their Eclipse preferences and
attach them to bugzilla bug #39569, which we have opened for this purpose
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=39569). All files received
will be used in an analysis of current Eclipse plugin preferences.
To send us your preferences:
1. From Eclipse's menu, select Window -> Preferences, click "Export", and
save the file in .epf format as prompted.
2. Attach the resulting file to the bug report noted above
Please note that once you attach your preferences to this report they will
be publicly readable.
We are only interested in obtaining information about Eclipse's own plugin
preferences. If you are concerned about sharing preference information
for any other plugins you may have installed, we encourage you to remove
this information before attaching the file.
Each line in the .epf file represents one preference and has the format:
pluginName/preferenceName=preferenceValue
If you wish, you may delete any lines in the file that do not have plugin
names starting with "eclipse.org"
Thank you for your help,
The Eclipse UI Team
