I posted the message below to the platform newsgroup, but no reply yet.
I've since looked at the Validation preferences and properties in WST, and
there seems to be quite a bit of duplicate code, but also a shared
ValidationConfiguration. Any refactoring planned in this area, either in
WTP or the platform itself? I don't actually need the "project properties
overriding preferences" behaviour yet, but would like to be able to use
field editors in my properties page (I think).
>>>>>
I'm just starting to look at implementing preferences and properties. It
seems you can't use field editors without a preference store.
I found this article, which is quite old:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Mutatis-mutandis/ove rlay-pages.html
Any comments on the applicability of this approach today?
I notice the Validation preferences in WTP are overridable at the project
level, but I haven't looked at the code yet to see if they use field
editors.
Thanks,
- Richard

Richard,
We have not planned anything yet on using field editors, we may in the
future post M4 milestone. But you raise a good point. One thing to note
is that when the Validation Preference and Project level properties page
was written the field editors were not available in eclipse.
