    32''ProjectPreferenceStore'' is a '''local preference store''' for storing preference values related to project, e.g. preference for project's Task information. This local store caches the preference values in maps (map key is the id of the preference variable). It calls ''GritsPreferenceStore'' only if the value is not found in its map.

    … …  
    109These advantages are general for any similar cached-local preference store in GRITS. Plugins that would use preferences are recommended to maintain a local preference store.

    1212== Implementation ==
    13 ''ProjectPreferenceStore'' works with enums and string. It takes enums as parameters and returns values in enums (that contain single/multi-choice list).
    14 
     13''ProjectPreferenceStore'' uses enums as parameters for getting preference values. The enum object contains important information such as preference variable name and file name. Below is a detailed description of different types of preferences that it contains and different types of values it returns.

    23 Currently there are four types of preferences for projects. Each of these preference is an enum object and has all the information needed to get a preference value.
     22Currently there are four types of preferences for projects. Each of these preference is an enum and has all the information needed to get a preference value.
    2423
    25 - ''StringPreference'' - Simplest type of preference that has a '''string''' value. All information related to it is available in the enum object
     24- ''StringPreference'' - Simplest type of preference that has a '''string''' value. All the information is available in the enum object
    2625
    27 - ''Preference'' - Types of preference whose values are a '''list of string'''
     26- ''Preference'' - Type of preference whose values are a '''list of string'''
    2827
    29 - ''ParameterizedPreference'' - Types of preference whose values are a '''list of objects of a particular class'''
     28- ''ParameterizedPreference'' - Type of preference whose values are a '''list of objects of a particular class'''
    3029
    3130- ''IntegerPreference'' - A special case of ''ParameterizedPreference'' whose values are a '''list of integer'''
    3231
    33 By using the above enum objects as parameter, the need of knowing the preference variable name or the need of knowing filename for default values (when a preference is not found in the preference file) is removed. When one of the above enum is passed as a parameter then user can get a generic ''SingleChoicePreference'' or ''MultiChoicePreference'' (or its special case ''MultiChoiceInteger'') enum object.

    45 __Note:__ The simplest ''StringPreference'' is self-contained. It has a single string value that can be directly accessed from the enum object.

     52=== Preference and their values ===
    5453Currently it happens to be the case that certain preference types have certain preference values. Here is the mapping of current preference type and their values:
    5554
    56 ||= Preference type       =||= Preference values     =||
     55||=  Preference type      =||=  Preference values    =||
    5756|| StringPreference        ||    -                    ||
    5857|| Preference              || SingleChoicePreference  ||
    … …  
    6362__Note:__ Currently ''SingleChoicePreference'' is not generic and only supports string preference values. If later some ''ParameterizedPreference'' have ''SingleChoicePreference'' values then ''SingleChoicePreference'' should be made a generic class.
