Preferences in Eclipse 3 have 3 different scopes:
Scope | Info | Location |
DefaultScope | Constant Preferences | Taken from preferenceCustomization |
ConfigurationScope | Application wide configuration | Stored in the configuration/.settings folder |
InstanceScope | Workspace wide configuration (this is the one you should get from the Activator's getPreferenceStore if not overridden) | Stored in the .metadata/.plugin folder of the workspace |
Note related to
Mac Export Tricks post: To get all the preferences in the path specified with the
-data
parameter use the InstanceScope. This should be the default you get when calling
Activator.getDefault().getPreferenceStore()
.
