Hi,
I havewritten a simple plugin with single preference page.
It is based on some samples found in the net.
This preference page makes use of the plugin.
Eg.
MyPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore()
My preference page shows in the Window/Preferences menu,
but when I click in the pages tree to see my preference page I gen NPE
from getDefault()
What is the lifecycle of the plugin, when does it start?
How to make sure that my plugin started when I eter it's preference
page in configuration?

Thanks Christian!
That was it. Now it seems to work.
I added default, no arg constructor.
Do you know when exactly a call to
MyPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceStore()
causes instantiation of the plugin?
What if at some point (but from some class within the plugin)
I call MyPlugin.getDefault() for the 1st time?
How does it know that it should initialize it before the 1st call?
Or maybe it can happen that it will not initialize before?
