Typically you retrieve the preference store from your Plugin class which
subclasses from AbsractUIPlugin.

@see AbstractUI#getPreferenceStore()

The location is:
$WORKSPACE_ROOT$/.metadata/org.eclipse.core.runtime/$PLUGIN_ ID$.prefs

It doesn't make much sense for UI preferences to be stored in each
workspace. There's API for obtaining a configuration-wide preference store
as well. The end up in:
$INSTALL_DIR$/configuration/.settings/$PLUGIN_ID%.prefs
