Oomph preferences passed in via goomph

[dscowan]

I didn't really see anything regarding this in the docs. I would like to use oomph record preferences and the inject those into goomph. An example would be enabling line numbers in the editor. Is there a recommended way to do this?

At present, there is no support for Oomph's recorded preferences, but I'd love to help add it.

The only way to modify preferences for now is to copy-paste the workspace, set the preference you want, and then diff the current workspace against the other to see what properties get set.

Then you can use workspaceProp('filename', { props -> props.put('key', 'value') }) anywhere inside the oomphIde block to set other preferences.

Here's an example.

edit: corrected java-style braces in groovy example above, thanks @dscowan

The example above should be

workspaceProp('filename', { props -> props.put('key', 'value') }

Fought that way to long. This did get me what I needed. It would be nice to be able to use oomphs recorded preferences.

Agreed! I'd need some help from Oomph guys, but they're understandably busy.
