Quick Reference

Defining a Registry Key

Always prefer declaring in plugin.xml (not registry.properties):

<registryKey key="my.feature.enabled"
             defaultValue="true"
             description="Enables my feature"
             restartRequired="false"/>

To override in a dependent plugin:

<registryKey key="my.feature.enabled"
             defaultValue="false"
             description="Enables my feature"
             restartRequired=
             =/>
