I create a new MPI Hello World C Project. PLDT detects no MPI preferences are set, so prompts me to set them. I answer yes, then click ok. The next time I create an MPI Hello World C Project, I get prompted again.

Well, you're not setting any.
If you add the mpi include path on the preference page then you've set them and it won't ask.

But I agree it could be confusing.
With some other changes I don't think the include path is really necessary if you are searching by API prefix now.  So perhaps a "don't ask again" -- or let that be the default behavior -- is the way to go.

As of the fix for https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=343761 i need to confirm what if anything the include path is being used for now.

Yes, please add "don't ask again" otherwise this is an big annoyance.

all artifact-finding plugins now default to "allow prefix-only match" which means "MPI_" is recognized as indicating an MPI artifact for example.  If that is true, it does not ask to set "preferences" since it doesn't need them and the include and lib path aren't needed by mpicc etc. anyway.

This question is still getting asked in the RC1 build.

This is gone in the RC2 or at least the 5/30 build
