I20111207-2118. The preference UI for nulll annotations looks clumsy and the important parts are coming after the less important settings. We should move the rarely used configuration of the annotations into a separate dialog which has a 'Restore Defaults' button. On the main page we add a 'Configure Annotations...' button (most likely at the end of the section).
(In reply to comment #0) > the important parts are coming after the less important settings. Placement of 'Use non-null as default' is debatable but I think the rest is OK.

Not a big fan of adding a separate dialog here - The filter box on top let's you find stuff easily, a dialog will sort of break that :( - Also what happens when you select 'Configure Problem Severity' action from a 'Problem hover' in Java editor? Do you open the preference page and the dialog on top of it? Feels clumsy to me..

Why would one need to do that? Only the annotations are on a separate dialog - not the all the other settings that the user really wants to tweak. Most of the users will go with the default annotations.
(In reply to comment #2) > Why would one need to do that? Only the annotations are on a separate dialog - I should have read comment 0 a bit more carefully, nevermind..
Fixed with commit cfb978b48b0fa396e6d3029e19f05b31faa716e4.
