<title>Test Scenario: Preferences</title>

<body>
<h3>
Preferences</h3>
Purpose: To test the Preferences in Eclipse. We will open the Preferences
dialog, select some pages, change and apply preferences, verify their affect,
and test persistence between sessions.
<p>Setup:
<ol>
<li>
Install Eclipse Platform.</li>
</ol>
Method:
<ol>
<li>
Start the workbench.</li>
<li>
Invoke Window > Preferences and verify that the Preferences dialog appears.
Click on all of the items in the left hand viewer to demonstrate that each
item has a valid page and no exceptions occur in their creation.
Now close the dialog.</li>
<li>
The behavior of the workbench can be customized using the preferences.
To see this in action we will examine various preferences which ship with
Eclipse.</li>
<li>
The selection in the navigator is linked to the active editor. Open
a couple of files. Then switch between the editors and watch how
the input for the active editor is selected in the navigator. You
can disable this option in the Preferences. To do this ..</li>
<ol>
<li>
Open the preferences dialog.</li>
<li>
Turning off "Link navigator selection to active editor" in the workbench
preferences.</li>
<li>
Press OK. The dialog should close.</li>
<li>
Now switch between the editors. Notice that the selection in the
navigator does not change.</li>
</ol>
<li>
The Perspective > Open menu action can also be customized. By default
this action will open a new perspective in the current window. You
can change this to "open in new window" or "replace other". To see
this behavior ..</li>
<ol>
<li>
Open the preferences dialog. Change the workbench preferences for
"Open Perspective" to "Open in New Window". Then press OK</li>
<li>
Invoke Perspective > Open > Java. Notice how a new window is created
for the perspective. The list of open windows is shown in the Window
menu. Select these items to switch between the windows.</li>
</ol>
<li>
If you don't like the current preferences you can reset them. Open
the preferences dialog again. To reset the state of "Link navigator
.." and "Open Perspective .." press the Restore Defaults button.
If you press OK the options will be saved. However, let's assume
that you decide not to change them. Press Cancel. Then verify
that the deviant options have not been restored to default by switching
between editors and opening a new perspective.</li>
<li>
Invoke File > Exit. Then restart the workbench.</li>
<li>
Open the preferences dialog and confirm tha "Link navigator .. " and "Open
Perspective .." still reflect the customized values. The workbench
will automatically save your preferences between sessions.</li>
</ol>
