/**
* Abstract base class for plug-ins that integrate with the Eclipse platform UI.
*
* Subclasses obtain the following capabilities:
*
*
* Preferences
*
* - The platform core runtime contains general support for plug-in
* preferences (
org.eclipse.core.runtime.Preferences).
* This class provides appropriate conversion to the older JFace preference
* API (org.eclipse.jface.preference.IPreferenceStore).
* - The method
getPreferenceStore returns the JFace preference
* store (cf. Plugin.getPluginPreferences which returns
* a core runtime preferences object.
* - Subclasses may reimplement
initializeDefaultPreferences
* to set up any default values for preferences using JFace API. In this
* case, initializeDefaultPluginPreferences should not be
* overridden.
* - Subclasses may reimplement
*
initializeDefaultPluginPreferences to set up any default
* values for preferences using core runtime API. In this
* case, initializeDefaultPreferences should not be
* overridden.
* - Preferences are also saved automatically on plug-in shutdown.
* However, saving preferences immediately after changing them is
* strongly recommended, since that ensures that preference settings
* are not lost even in the event of a platform crash.
*
* Dialogs
*
* - The dialog store is read the first time
getDialogSettings
* is called.
* - The dialog store allows the plug-in to "record" important choices made
* by the user in a wizard or dialog, so that the next time the
* wizard/dialog is used the widgets can be defaulted to better values. A
* wizard could also use it to record the last 5 values a user entered into
* an editable combo - to show "recent values".
* - The dialog store is found in the file whose name is given by the
* constant
FN_DIALOG_STORE. A dialog store file is first
* looked for in the plug-in's read/write state area; if not found there,
* the plug-in's install directory is checked.
* This allows a plug-in to ship with a read-only copy of a dialog store
* file containing initial values for certain settings.
* - Plug-in code can call
saveDialogSettings to cause settings to
* be saved in the plug-in's read/write state area. A plug-in may opt to do
* this each time a wizard or dialog is closed to ensure the latest
* information is always safe on disk.
* - Dialog settings are also saved automatically on plug-in shutdown.
*
* Images
*
* - A typical UI plug-in will have some images that are used very frequently
* and so need to be cached and shared. The plug-in's image registry
* provides a central place for a plug-in to store its common images.
* Images managed by the registry are created lazily as needed, and will be
* automatically disposed of when the plug-in shuts down. Note that the
* number of registry images should be kept to a minimum since many OSs
* have severe limits on the number of images that can be in memory at once.
*
*
* For easy access to your plug-in object, use the singleton pattern. Declare a
* static variable in your plug-in class for the singleton. Store the first
* (and only) instance of the plug-in class in the singleton when it is created.
* Then access the singleton when needed through a static getDefault
* method.
*
*
* See the description on {@link Plugin}.
*
