Hi Erling,
I think IMemento would useful in what you are doing. You basically create a file that will store settings of your plugin:
File savedFile = Activator.getDefault().getStateLocation().append("mySettings.xml").toFile();
Then You populate this file with the data that make sense for you:
XMLMemento root = XMLMemento.createWriteRoot("Root");
IMemento child = root.createChild("Child");
child.putString("childName","myChild");
Writer writer = new FileWriter(savedFile);
xmlMemento.save(writer);
And to read:
FileReader reader = new FileReader(savedFile);
if (reader.ready()) {
IMemento memento = XMLMemento.createReadRoot(reader);
IMemento[] children = memento.getChildren(BUG_TYPE);
}
Check API for details, I might have missed something here.
Hope this helps,
Alex

Hi,
I'm wondering how I could store the preferences for my plugin.
I don't think I can use the org.eclipse.core.runtime.Preferences;
because I want to store several objects/datasets such as:
server {
- url
- username
- password
- type
}
I'm wondering if I then need to create my own XML file or if there are
any other clever ways to do this?
How (where?) do I store and retrieve this XML file in a way such that
it will work on any Eclipse installation?
If anyone has any tutorials about this, please let me know.
Thanks,
- Erling
