hi,

I am developing a plugin in which i need to save some common data in a xml file which can be stored at some common location in eclipse. I have seen some plugin saves their common file in eclipse_workspace\.metadata\.plugins
Does anybody knows how to do that in eclipse or some other way/location where i can save my common data.

You could get the location for your plugin through Plugin#getStateLocation() and write your files there. You could also manage using the preference which you could read about Eclipse Preferencess. http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipsePreferences/article.html could get you started.
