Max Rydahl Andersen resolved JBIDE-4483.
----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


I've added an experimental workingset module into svn.

This adds a crude preference page which allow you to specify a list of patterns that will be used in sequence as follows:

<searchpattern>, <replacepattern>, <exclusive: true|false>

searchpattern is a regular expression used to match against the project names, (i.e. org\.jboss\.tools\.([^\.]+).* finds all projects starting with org.jboss.tools and puts the text between the next two dots into the first capture group)

replacepattern: which set the project should go into, can use capture groups. (i.e. "$1", will for org.jboss.tools.vpe.util and the pattern from above be: "vpe")

exlusive: wether or not we should stop searching for more names. i.e. useful to set to false for some overall grouping patterns, but you most likely just want it to be true.

> When you have many projects (>10) working sets are good for grouping, but when you have too many projects (>100) like eclipse and jboss tools plugin developers tend to have working set are too cumbersome to use.
> I suggest we add support for grouping projects based on a regular expression to allow for semi-automatic grouping of projects.
