Ok, lets see troubles check list
1. Check prefs initialization extension point exists in plugin.xml
<extension
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences">
<initializer
class="xxx. ProfilesPreferenceInitializer">
</initializer>
</extension>
2. Check class xxx. ProfilesPreferenceInitializer
public class ProfilesPreferenceInitializer extends AbstractPreferenceInitializer {
public ProfilesPreferenceInitializer() {
super();
}
@Override
public void initializeDefaultPreferences() {
IPreferenceStore store = Activator.getDefault().getPreferenceStore();
store.setDefault(<pref mnemonic name>, <default pref value>);
}
}
3. Check bundle Activator in bundle MANIFEST.MF present and "Activate this plugin when one of its classes loaded" is checked.
4. Check Activator class declaration
public class Activator extends AbstractUIPlugin
5. Check read default pref value code
Activator activator = Activator.getDefault();
String value = activator.getPreferenceStore().getString(<pref mnemonic name>);
If this does not help can you send me your code?

It seems like I have the exact same problem. I made my way through the checklist above and everything seems to be fine according to it.
But initializeDefaultPreferences() is only called when the PreferencePage is being opened. (checked by setting a breakpoint)
Is initializeDefaultPreferences() being called at this moment only and not while the plugin loads, by design? (it's not the constructor, so that would make sense for my limited knowledge) If so, how can I evaluate a value stored in the preferences store during loading of the plugin? (and execute some code accordingly)

I don't see how getPreferenceStore() would cause an NPE.
|
Well yes, it's quite confusing because it checks for being null and creates a new store in that case (which it shouldn't btw. I'm not wanting to create a new store, I want to use my existing data. Or would that be the case if it creates a new one at this point?)
Anyway here's a debug-session which shows the NPE: http://vimeo.com/21603141 (HD in fullscreeen-mode makes the fonts readable)
I'm pressing F5-F6-F6 when "miracle" steps appear in the video, sry, should have used the mouse maybe to make it more clear.
I'm completely lost on what goes wrong there. ;-(

Okay thanks, taking it out of the constructor fixes this NP-issue but leaves the problem that nothing is being performed during/after load of Eclipse and my plugin. I have to open the preference page to make it perform the wanted steps (reading the pref and performing calling a function according to it) but I'm searching for a way so it does that without opening the preferences page. (as mentioned below)
