Certain preferences, such as many of the Java ones, do not make sense to be a
per-workspace preference, as my coding style or JavaDoc templates are generally
not going to change from workspace to workspace.  It would be nice if a
mechanism to allow preferences to be marked as "global" (i.e. not per-workspace)
existed, rather than relying on exporting from one workspace and importing them
into another.

This bug is the same as a plan item for the 3.0 development cycle....
