Description Carl McConnell CLA 2002-06-12 14:06:33 EDT 
(This is in F2.) AbstractUIPlugin.shutdown() does not save preferences when the 
plugin state directory <Eclipse>/.metadata/.plugins/<plugin> doesn't already 
exist at shutdown time. This is because the missing directory produces an IO 
exception in the SafeFileOutputStream constructor, shown in the stack trace 
below.
