[jbosstools-dev] Oomph in Eclipse M5 and properties...

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hey,

If you haven't tried Eclipse Mars M5 yet you probably haven't heard or 
tried oomph yet.

oomph does a bunch of things regarding making eclipse easier to install 
and configure.

One of them is managing preferences between multiple workspaces - i'm 
not super fan of the UI oomph have so far, but the idea behind it is 
good enough. It listens to preference changes and ask the user if a 
certain preference should be applied to all your other workspaces. If 
yes - it will apply them on your next workspace start.

That is all fine and well, but some of the properties just don't make 
sense for users to be notified about - for example our usage tracking is 
stored in preferences; not something that makes sense for oomph to care 
about.

That is now fixed in M6 
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=459455) after I raised 
the issue.

But do please keep an eye on oomph and check if it asks for properties 
you think are irrelevant or bad that we should get fixed on oomph side.

And of course - if you see other issues with oomph do open bugs on 
bugs.eclipse.org so Eclipse Mars will get something better not worse ;)

thanks,
