Getting the Window preferences programmatically [message #629556]

I need to find out the single/double click option setting for opening an
editor. The following code works:

IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IPreferenceStore pStore = workbench.getPreferenceStore();
boolean openOnSingleClick = pStore.getBoolean("OPEN_ON_SINGLE_CLICK");

but there are a couple of problems:

1. IWorkbench.getPreferenceStore() is deprecated
2. "OPEN_ON_SINGLE_CLICK" is a String, and a constant for it is in
org.eclipse.ui.internal.IPreferenceConstants ("internal" suggests not to
use it for the app development).

Does anyone know a better way of getting at the preference?

Thanks,

This might help:
- org.eclipse.ui.OpenAndLinkWithEditorHelper
- org.eclipse.jface.util.OpenStrategy

OpenStrategy was the answer.

Thank you.
