From the 2.1 plan: <em>&quot;Provide user preferences. It should be possible
to store user preferences that are not specific to a workspace separate
from the workspace, so that they can be used in any workspace. [Platform
Core, Platform UI] [Themes: User experience; Rich client platform]&quot;
(bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36965">36965</a>)</em>
<p> From the 3.0 plan: <em> &quot;The way that Eclipse deals with preferences
should be improved. The workbench presentation of preferences generally
uses a component-oriented hierarchy, which is not always the best choice
for users. The UI should present preferences in such a way that users
can readily discover them. Some preference settings have scopes (e.g.,
workspace-wide vs. per project). The UI should help the user to visualize
these scopes. For team-wide uniformity, some preferences settings (e.g.,
compiler options) need to be shared (or imposed) across teams. The UI
should also facilitate this. [Platform Core; Platform UI; Text; JDT UI;
JDT Core]&quot; (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71124">71124</a>)
