setup content assist [message #1839933]

I am using the oomph installer with a custom setup file to install an Eclipse 2020 12R.

Now my problem is that the checkboxes in my preferences

Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Advanced -> Java Non-Type Proposals
Java -> Editor -> Content Assist -> Advanced -> Java Type Proposals

are not set after the installation.

How could I enhance my setup file that these checkboxes will be set with the install?

Have you tried recording the change to it into your setup resource (from the toolbar button while the editor is open). I see that this is recorded

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:PreferenceTask
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    key="/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/content_assist_disabled_computers"
    value="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.javaChainProposalCategory${0x0}org.eclipse.jdt.ui.textProposalCategory${0x0}org.eclipse.jdt.ui.javaPostfixProposalCategory${0x0}"/>

That seems to perform properly for me.

Well I want to have it like you see in my screenshot.

I had seen your post with disable_computers.
But I think that I would need enable_computers

I'd have to investigate in detail how this is all represented in the preference tree. But recording the changes when I change it to what you show is like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:PreferenceTask
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    key="/instance/org.eclipse.jdt.ui/content_assist_disabled_computers"
    value="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.textProposalCategory${0x0}"/>

Did you actually try this?

Note that another functionality is the "Capture Preference" dialog. There you can create preference task based on the current settings of the preferences. If I filter all the preference to content_assist_ then I don't see anything like what you want. So my sense is that everything not explicitly disabled is therefore enabled.
