As a question this is likely better directed to the Eclipse.org core
folks.  While you can both contribute to the .cdtproject (I believe
Alex sent a message) and/or create your own new properties resource, 
I would suggest that you take a look at 36965 which is the Eclipse 3
solution to providing user persistable settings through a standard
Eclpse API:

cs/online/team3.0/settings.html

Hope this helps,
