What is the use case? How would you want to run this?

These preferences are not preferences of the RTC Jazz SCM system, but preferences of the specific client. The preference mechanism used is the Eclipse preferences mechanism. the data is stored in the Eclipse workspace under .metadata in specific sub folders.

The Java classes are available in the Eclipse client and therefore also available in the RTC SDK. You should be able to use these classes, but they are probably only available in the RTC Eclipse client.

Use case is that when we offer the RTC eclipse client, we would like that: if the users are modifying the code directly in their sandbox or using someother development tool, "Pending changes" view of RTC should automatially fetch that..

Therefore this preference is good to be given as part of the product (or users has to set it individually!).

The problem currently is the data is stored in the Eclipse workspace under .metadata in specific sub folders, but not reflected when we change the workspace.. (i.e. Only works for one work space!)
