Eclipse: Make use of the local (project-specific) settings.E

Post by amix »

Eclipse allows to set preferences locally, to a project.

Menu: Project -> Properties.

Not many plugins use this, sadly, oXygen being no exception. It would be nice, if oXygen settings could be set as per project also, having the global settings as default for locals.

Hello,

We will consider the request for a future version of the <oXygen/> plugin. I think most preferences make sense to be stored at the project level but not all, for example the license key, certificates settings, HTTP/Proxy configuration.


Thank you,
Sorin

Yes, you are right. Some things are not project-specific.Thanks for consideration.

It was *very* *nice* btw, to see, that the license key and also some project-stuff got synchromized with the stand-alone version, which I installed today. Very nice package, you created.

No, the user preferences are not synchronized. They are imported in a distribution if the user already started and registered other distribution in the same login account on the same computer. For example if you launched the oXygen standalone or the Java WebStart distribution on the same computer the Eclipse plugin imports automatically your preferences from the other distribution including the license key on the first startup. After that the Eclipse plugin stores your oXygen preferences in a separate location.

Regards,
Sorin
