Set preference in configuration scope [message #1704118]

Hi all, I have just started using oomph and have the following questions.

Is it possible to set a preference in configuration scope? For instance I would like to be able to set org.jboss.tools.usage.prefs. ask_user_for_usage_report_preference

Is it possible to read stream names from an external file? Using xinclude or something similar. Available streams are known by another tool chain and I would like to update the setup automatically.

Is it possible to create a Working set from a Maven import? I.e. from all nested projects.

It would be nice to be able to prepend an existing preference value not just set it. For example org.eclipse.ant.core/additional_entries is a comma separated list of jar-files. The JDK tools.jar location is the default value and I would like to add a entry.

I don't recall anything that should hold you from writing /configuration/xyz... into the preference task key. Just the
preference recorder ignores those.

I don't think that oomph has something specifically useful for that. To me it sounds more promising to generate your
setup file from your external toolchain data.

There are all sorts of predicates that you can use to define your working set. Please let us know if you're missing a
specific one, then we can discuss if and how we can provide it.

That's currently not possible. It's on the list of things we want to enhance w.r.t. the entire preference recording and
management story. I hoped to get much of that into Mars SR1, but it seems unlikely right now.

About nested projects and working sets, have you tried using the project explorer and set "project presentation" to "hierarchical" from the project explorer view menu? It might be a good solution for your use-case, without need to tweak the oomph profile.
