How to provide default "Type filter" [message #899072]

Under Java -> Appearance -> Type Filters I can enter filters for types I don't want to use. As I never use java.awt and javax.swing I would like to create some default settings for example via plugin_customization.ini.

Is this possible? I used grep to search through the .metadata/.plugins directory but I found only binary files.

e.g.
org.eclipse.jdt.ui/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.typefilter.enabled=javax.*;

Hint to find such keys:
1. start a new workspace
2. change the preference
3. export all preferences
4. search the key in the exported file

Note that you need to remove the scope (e.g. /instance/) before copying
it into the plugin_customization.ini file.

Can typfilters also get applied to Projects, or only generally on the
whole workspace?
