Switching branches on large projects is also not a good idea
Is it a bad idea because switching branches is bad or because the
IDE doesn't support it well? It smells like we're touching another
topic worth exploring in Eclipse IDE...
Anyway, make sure your removing more haters than you’re
creating.
How can we make sure of that?
And make sure you have some degree of consensus on the
direction.
Can you please elaborate "some degree of consensus"? We could run a
poll.
And if you do do it, make sure you set it in a preference so
we can override it in our commercial products. Different
communities have different levels of hate for this.
I don't fear hate ;) People hate whenever something change anyway,
even if on the long run that's what they need.
There's already a preference:
IDE.Preferences.SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG in the
ConfigurationScope. I don't know whether this scope can be tweaked
by plugin_customization.ini . Anyone?
Note that my suggestion isn't necessarily to change default in
Platform (so it would cascade to RCPs), it can simply be to change
the preference in relevant EPPs.
