If you want to use a org.eclipse.core.runtime.Preferences object to
store simple name/value pairs, just call getPluginPreferences() and
savePluginPreferences() on your Plugin class. See the Javadoc of
Preferences to see what it can do.
If you want to store files, you can call getStateLocation() to get an
IPath that represents that plugin's metadata state location, and then do
various things with that (like create/read directories and/or files).
Hope this helps,
Eric
