Perhaps you could be happy with the magic? I'm not sure how it's a
problem or why it's characterized as magic. There's not much point
in anyone solving problems if the solution at hand is called magic.
Of course you could wait a few more years until there's magically
a new scope in the platform and magically all the projects start to
use it properly. It's probably best not hold your breath for
that...

The first question that jumps to mind is do I want
preferences spanning Eclipse based products, each of which might
have different defaults? And I’m not sure some users realize
that’s there’s Eclipse underneath a given product and expect the
preference to migrate between products. Though I imagine expert
users would.
I’d just be happy if preferences worked cross workspaces
without needing Oomph magic.

What bugs me for a while:
There is a instance, a configuration and a
default scope. Why is there no *user scope* which
stores preferences like spell checker enablement in
the user’s home folder instead into the workspace or
eclipse installation folder?
Saving some preferences in user scope
instead of the workspace scope will certainly require
some changes to the existing UI. But it seems legit to
ask why it’s not there...
Hi
Nearly every tool has asked questions but
they steadily vanish into the Custom rather
than Standard optiion in the Installer. But
options such as 'Desktop Icon' often persust
in a final installer page. Even the Java SDK
installer stops half way through for an
extra irritating confusing question about
the JRE location. Open Office has
confusing/scary questions about user
identity/initials.
Prior to OOMPH, Eclipse has no installer so
no location for these defaults/variations.
The workspace location dialog is the first
place for an option. Perhaps this dialog
could offer customizatiion.

Does anyone know of a
commercial IDE that would ask questions
like this at install time? I can’t
remember any but I have only installed the
big ones, Visual Studio and Xcode.
Thanks,
Doug.
I did not agree
to anything. Someone asked whether
there are at all negative points
when enabling spell-checking and
that's what I provided. I like the
Oomph questionnaire based
approach.

Looks
like Dani agrees, so JDT can
change its default and the EPP
would not need to change.
