AbstractPreferenceInitializer Problem [message #280728]

I was reading about the new AbstractPreferenceInitializer (after some of our
preference pages stopped working correctly with Eclipse 3.1). I've
implemented two subclasses for two separate preference pages and added the
extensions to the appropriate plugin.xml files. However, only one of the
two initializers is getting called. I've done some debugging of the
DefaultPreferences.applyRuntimeDefaults, but am missing something...What is
the connection that causes applyRuntimeDefaults to run a certain
initializer, but not others?

The preference initializer is run the first time you access the default
preferences for your plug-in.

For instance, the first call to:
new DefaultScope().getNode("com.example");
will call the preference initializer for the "com.example" plug-in if
one is registered.
