in a prefgerences-page i have two FieldEditors. to ease the use i display
default-values, so the suer has not to type in any values if he's happy
with default ones.
but the default values are not stored to the prefs -- thus any attempt to
use those values causes an error.
if i fill in arbitrary values, different from the default, it's stored --
but thus the ability to present default values seems meaningless to me.
what do i wrong, how do i force the FieldEditors to save even the
unchanged default?


public class LocalDBPreferencePage extends FieldEditorPreferencePage
implements IWorkbenchPreferencePage {

IPreferenceStore ips;

public LocalDBPreferencePage() {
super(GRID);
setPreferenceStore(ips=MyPlugin.getDefault().getPreferenceSt ore());
setDescription("Preference page for the local Derby-DB");
ips.setDefault("derbydbpath",
Platform.getLocation().toOSString());
ips.setDefault("derbydbname", "NJVDB");
}

public void createFieldEditors() {
Composite fep=getFieldEditorParent();

DirectoryFieldEditor dfe=new
DirectoryFieldEditor(PreferenceConstants.P_PATH, "&Speicherort der DB:",
fep);
dfe.setPreferenceName("derbydbpath");
addField(dfe);

StringFieldEditor sfeDBN=new
StringFieldEditor(PreferenceConstants.P_STRING, "Datenbankname:", fep);
sfeDBN.setPreferenceName("derbydbname");
addField(sfeDBN);
}

public void init(IWorkbench workbench) {}

}

solved the issue by calling ips.setDefault() in the plugin's
start()-method.
i still think the default-value should be saved to the props, but that's
probably rather a matter of taste ...

arne,
set default values in preference initializer
see extension point org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences
and class
org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences.AbstractPreferencesInit ializer

preferences initializer is better solution because it call without plugin
start
