Hey,

After our upgrade to 3.1.0 another thing that broke is our subclass of the PreferencesObjectSupplier (which was removed). What is the new way of providing preferences to the application?

Thanks!
Selim

Well IIRC there's never been a PreferencesObjectSupplier is from the platform and has been moved to "org.eclipse.e4.core.di.extensions" - I must not mention that this is an internal class! So maybe you should try to get your customizations back upstream or look at PreferenceValueSupplier from e(fx)clipse and help us improve that to meet your requirements?

So I basically removed our subclass of this guy. Turns out both the efxclipse PreferenceValueSupplier as well as our implementation were probably conflicting. After deleting it everything seems fine.
This is however still an internal class and I guess it's subject to removal in a future version. Are there plans to move it to public API or is there a preferred way of storing / retrieving preferences?

Not sure what you mean? You should not reference the supplier at all. The efxclipse preference supplier allows you to retrieve/store values through public API. Is there something you had to customize in the supplier?

Sorry I was a bit confused. I deleted our implementation and we don't reference any of these suppliers any longer. We had our own implementation that was essentially an empty subclass of that internal class that was moved / removed.
