Have a look at the externalSettingsProvider extension point. You can
register a class which is call-back'd (under your control) when you
call some API notifying the core that external settings may have
changed.

There are more detailed steps here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.cdt/msg17432.html
I've just copied and pasted these steps into the FAQ:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/Developer/FAQ#externalSettingsProvider_extension_point

Please feel free to update & improve the FAQ entry as you make progress!

Cheers,

James
