[jbosstools-dev] Question on where to set preferences for upstream plugins

[Rob Stryker]

Hi All:

I was reviewing 
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-base/pull/459/files

It seems a functional patch in general, but I sincerely doubt 
runtime.ui  is the proper place to go adjusting JDT UI preferences.

Should be doing this in project releases, rather than product? As I 
understood it, we should only be customizing other project's settings in 
our product release - JBDS.

If it was only to be done in product, isn't there a way to customize 
these preferences via a text file?  If we want to begin to do this in 
project instead, wouldn't it be better to have an isolated place where 
we can set arbitrary settings for upstream projects?

Context https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20845
