Re: [ide-dev] Auto-configuring projects when opening editors

Using #configure
sounds interesting but that lives in the core layer. But to correctly set
up e.g. a Java project you need input from the user.

Hi Mickael 
Indeed and all those diverse actions
can be orchestrated by the XXXNature.configure() which currently has to
be 100% cloned; an AbstractProjectNatue could offer standard functionality.
If XXXNature.configure() neglects to invoke project.setDescription(), no
XXX nature would actually be added leaving XXXNature.configure() as a transient
tool for some irregular form of configuration.

I think natures are too restraining here.
While it's used in most cases, there are other ways an editor can configure
a projet or its own enablement (preferences, project settings, a builder,
starting a Run configuration, show a wizard...). I believe the diversity
of possible actions makes it almost impossible to find a generic solution
to this problem that can cover all legacy and future stories.
