Chapter 3. Guvnor Preferences

3.1. Guvnor Repository Connection Preferences
3.2. Local Guvnor Repository Resource Decoration Preferences

The EGT provides a preference page in the Guvnor category:

Resource Selection

Figure 3.1. Resource Selection


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:

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:

Any changes to these preferences take effect immediately upon clicking the Apply and then Ok buttons.
