[Middlegen-user] Prefs file

[D***@nascopgh.com]

Is there any way to suppress the preferences file in Middlegen (either
force it not to generate it in the first place, or force it to ignore the
file).

Also, is there any sane explanation for why Middlegen gives precedence to
the entries in the prefs file even though it may have generated them
itself (and usually gets everything wrong) whereas the user explicitly
chose to specify something in the plugin attributes in build.xml?

Thanks,
Dave

Nuke it in your ANT "prepare" task. Anybody actually rely on preferences
for anything? I make a point of explicitly whacking prefs in in my build
script before running middlegen. Looks like I'm not alone:)

I found a better way: comment out the entire body of Prefs.save(). ;-)
