Hello,

I need to use a toggle menu item. The status of the toggle menu item needs
to be persisted even if I close the eclipse instance. That means if I
check the toggle menu item and restart eclipse, the toggle menu item
should be in checked state itself.

Right now, I have implemented the toggle menu item using the command
"org.eclipse.ui.commands" extension point. But I am not able to persist
the toggle state.

If eclipse does not provide a built-in persistence for toggle menu item,
how can I use my own persistence mechanism? Can I use my own
PersistenceStore?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,
Madhu

I'm not sure that's supported in eclipse 3,4, but it should be in 3.5 M6:

Thanks Prakash! We had read your blog earlier. But unfortunately many
features are available only in Eclipse 3.5. And we are using Eclipse 3.4
now.
