Evolution Specification: Filters Configuration

Current status is DRAFT

Summary: Provide a way for user to enable/disable filters.

Each time EMF Compare UI is launched, the same filters are activated. It would be nice if the user could disable/enable filters.

The user should be able to enable/disable filters from preferences. When the comparison is launched those preferences should override default state register from extension point.

Default filters label:

Label: Empty resource mapping filter
- Description: Filter out all resource mappings with no differences from the view.
Label: Pseudo conflicts filter
- Description: Filter out all pseudo conflicts differences (only in case of a 3-way comparison).
Label: Identical Elements.
- Description: Filter out all identical elements (elements with no differences).
Label: Cascading differences
- Description: Filter out all differences that are contained under differences (except when in conflict).

When a user select/unselect a filter in EMF Compare UI.
- The user should be able to synchronize its selection with the preference.
- The user should be able to automatically choose to synchronize or not the all futur filter selection.
