The EGT provides a preference page in the Guvnor category:
The preferences cover two categories:
Guvnor repository connections
Local Guvnor repository resource decorations.
There are two preferences that can be set for Guvnor repository connections, that are used when creating new connections:
The first is a default Guvnor repository URL template, which can make it easier to create multiple similar connections by simply changing part of the field, such as the host name.
The second is whether saving of authentication information in the Eclipse platform key-ring should be enabled by default.
As with the Guvnor repository URL template, actually whether to save a specific instance of authentication information in the Eclipse platform key-ring can be determined when actually creating the connection. That is, both of these preferences are simply convenience values set to reasonable defaults.
The second category of preferences provided by the EGT deals with how the decoration of local resources associated with Guvnor repository resources is presented. Since the Guvnor repository is not a substitute for a SCM, and since SCM tools in Eclipse tend to decorate local resources, it is useful to be able to control just how the EGT decorate its local resources to avoid messy conflicts with SCM packages.
In the File Decoration section of the preference page, you can choose the location (Top right, Top left, Bottom right, Bottom left) of the decoration icon, or you can choose not to display it. In the Text section, you can format the Guvnor metadata that is appended to the file names:
Whether to show an indicator (>) when the local file has changes not committed back to the Guvnor repository
Whether to show the revision number
Whether to show the date/time stamp
Any changes to these preferences take effect immediately upon clicking the Apply and then Ok buttons.
