Initializing Preferences [message #460376]

Hi everyone,

I need to initialize couple of default preferences when my product is
launched.
Can this be done by adding a .prefs file in the packaged product, or does it
have to be done programatically?

If programatically, should I be using the
org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences extension point and then initialize
certain constants?

Could someone provide some pointers please.

Thanks!
Delicia.

Here is a quick doc on how preference initialization works in Eclipse.
