Eclipse Preferences: Timeout preferences should not set system properties but operation specific timeout -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-16108 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16108 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: openshift Affects Versions: 4.1.1.CR1 Reporter: Andre Dietisheim Assignee: Andre Dietisheim Fix For: 4.2.x In JBIDE-16046 we introduced an Eclipse Preferences to set the openshift-java-clilent timeouts. These preferences currently set the lib specific system property which is not good. Consider the following usecase: 1) User launches Eclipse and has system property set to 10000 (-D): Eclipse Preferences display 10000 2) User sets preference to 1234 3) restarts Ecllipse: Preferences display 1234 3) happens because we load the value from eclipse preferences and override the system property We should keep both separate: System property and Eclipse preferences: We use operation specific timeouts in all Eclipse code and make the Eclipse preferences provide some value for this. Leaving the system property alone. We should also: * add a checkbox for "[ ] use default" * change openshift-java-client to differentiate "no value" (<0) and value set (>=0) * remove current hard-coded safe default in openshift-java-client, replace it by system-property we already have).
