I need to migrate some preference-setting code from 2.x to 3.0 and I'd
like to know if I'm doing this correctly: please advise.
When automating GUI testing (JUnit driving SWT using Abbot), I want to
minimize my interactions with "non-essential" UIs (i.e. unrelated to
the UIs I want to test), such as the welcome page and preference-
switching dialogs. To prevent the latter I created some utility
methods that worked with 2.1.3; now I want to migrate them to 3.0. The
following code compiles ...
> /**
> * Get the preference found in UI as
> * Windows>Preferences>Workbench>Perspecti ves>
> * Switch to associated perspective when creating a new project
> */
> public static String getSwitchToPerspectivePreference() {
> String val = null;
> IPreferenceStore ps =
WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore();
> if (ps == null) {
> Logger.log("ERROR: could not get PreferenceStore from
WorkbenchPlugin");
> } else {
> val = ps.getString(IDEInternalPreferences.PROJECT_SWITCH_PERSP_MOD E);
> if (isEmpty(val)) {
> if
(ps.contains(IDEInternalPreferences.PROJECT_SWITCH_PERSP_MOD E)) {
> Logger.log("ERROR: PreferenceStore returned empty pref value");
> } else {
> Logger.log("ERROR: PreferenceStore does not contain desired
pref key");
> }
> }
> }
> return val;
> }
> /**
> * Set the preference found in UI as
> * Windows>Preferences>Workbench>Perspecti ves>
> * Switch to associated perspective when creating a new project
> * Note that this pref is persisted!
> */
> public static void setSwitchToPerspectivePreference(String val) {
> IPreferenceStore ps =
WorkbenchPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore();
> Assert.isNotNull(ps);
> if (ps.contains(IDEInternalPreferences.PROJECT_SWITCH_PERSP_MOD E)) {
> ps.setValue(IDEInternalPreferences.PROJECT_SWITCH_PERSP_MODE , val);
> } else {
> Logger.log("ERROR: PreferenceStore does not contain desired pref
key");
> }
> }
> /**

.... but I'm wondering if, e.g., I should be accessing the preferences
differently.

This should work fine in 3.0. The underlying preference mechanism has
changed but it hasn't been surfaced to the user yet and all the backward
compatibility code is fully functional.
