Import Preferences [message #603815]

Hello,

I have a plugin that implements IStartup, and I would like to import some standard preferences on eclipse start.

Here is the code I'm using based on examples from org.eclipse.core.runtime.Preferences :

public final void importDefaultPrefs(String path) {
IPreferencesService prefService = org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform
.getPreferencesService();
//IPreferencesService prefService = org.eclipse.core.internal.preferences.PreferencesService
// .getDefault();
try {
//Preferences.importPreferences(new Path(path));
prefService.importPreferences(new FileInputStream(new File(path)));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (CoreException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

But on Eclipse startup I get this error :
Error notifying a preference change listener. Check the log for details.Invalid thread access.
Any idea what I have done wrong or overlooked?

Regards, Cosmin

Probably one of the listener is trying to access the UI when fired. Do
you have any stack traces?
