Description Richard Gregory CLA 2010-12-15 14:56:10 EST 
Build Identifier: 3.2.1.v201007071800

When setting the following preferences in a feature plugin customization file, 
the settings are ignored:

org.eclipse.wst.server.core/auto-publish=false
org.eclipse.wst.server.ui/show-on-activity=false

We are setting things like
   org.eclipse.jdt.core/org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.rawTypeReference=ignore

and when we do that, the Preferences show the value that we set in the file. For the server tooling settings, we always see the defaults, which are set to true. I'm not sure why that is, but maybe because the deprecated preference framework is being used? For example, it's using org.eclipse.core.runtime.Preferences rather than IEclipsePreferences, but I'm not sure if that is causing the problem.


Reproducible: Always

Just to clarify, when I said "we always see the defaults", by that I meant that we see the defaults that are set in the code and not the defaults that are set in the feature plugin customization ini file.
