Description Unknown User CLA 2001-10-10 22:35:56 EDT 
The workbench exposes a number of preference constant keys in IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.
Unfortately, you can only access those constants if you reference the WorkbenchPlugin class
directly or rely upon the underlying core support to get a well defined plugin class.  
This is bogus.  
If we expose the constants then surely we should also expose the object where
they can be used.  There should be API to get the preference store from IWorkbench.
