Synthesis option slider with int values gets persisted / reloaded as float

[NiklasRentzCAU]

When creating a new synthesis option of type range option with only int values as their lower and upper bound, step size and initial value the slider and current option initially works as intended.

 

public static final SynthesisOption DESCRIPTION_LENGTH = SynthesisOption.createRangeOption("Description text length", 0, 500, 1, 20).setCategory(BUNDLE)

 

And only shows int values and also returns an int when the option value is read a synthesis as in 

usedContext.getOptionValue(DESCRIPTION_LENGTH) as Integer

 When Eclipse is closed with an option value such as '42' and re-opened the slider shows the current value as a float '42.0' and also returns that float when read from the context which may cause the synthesis to have unexpected behavior.

Solution: The int-only slider should persist its value as an int if it was an int and not restore it as a float.
