Implement settings for compilation on - java source files - packages - compiled classes build targets and expose them in UI (initialy using property sheets). Settings should contain at least properties of former CompilerTypes.
The compiler already uses the settings, they are exposed in the UI on individual source files and on the build target. UI for settings on packages/parent folders is still TBD.
Closing as it is not known if folder/package settings UI is needed. Will reopen if so.
Better explanation: Since folders contains various types of objects, there could be a lot of possible settings to manipulate. For Java, changing compilation settings per-package has some drawbacks, as the compiler does not really understand per-file settings (it applies the same values for all processed files). Settings can now be set on a file and the build target, file and the project (defaults). It may be well possible that this settings granularity is sufficient and that we don't need to compilate UI with package/folder-level settings.
typo: "compilate UI" should read "complicate UI".
