Description Brian Young CLA 2007-04-09 10:35:05 EDT 
In Eclipse 3.2.1 when one is presented with the preferences export wizard you see a listing of preference transfers that you can export.  It would be a good feature if you had more granularity when working with preference transfers (PT).

For example, for the PT of installed JRE's you could have it as the root of a tree where (when expanded) you would be able to select exactly which installed JRE's you can export to the preferences file.  The reverse would also be true when importing preferences.
Comment 1 Tod Creasey CLA 2007-04-09 11:54:39 EDT 
This would require an API addition that existing preference transfers would have to roll with
Comment 2 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:22:45 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
