See the deprecated comment inPlugin.initializeDefaultPluginPreferences().this is only called if the runtime compatibility layer is present. SeeAbstractUIPlugin.initializeDefaultPluginPreferences().As of Eclipse 2.0, a basic preference store exists for all plug-ins. This method now exists only for backwards compatibility. It is called as the plug-in's preference store is being initialized. The plug-ins preferences are loaded from the file regardless of what this method does.As of Eclipse 2.0, preferences exist for all plug-ins. The equivalent of this method isPlugin.savePluginPreferences. This method now callssavePluginPreferences, and exists only for backwards compatibility.In Eclipse 3.0,shutdownhas been replaced byPlugin.stop(BundleContext context). Implementations ofshutdownshould be changed to extendstop(BundleContext context)and callsuper.stop(context)instead ofsuper.shutdown(). Unlikesuper.shutdown(),super.stop(context)must be called as the very last thing rather than as the very first thing. Theshutdownmethod is called only for plug-ins which explicitly require the org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility plug-in; in contrast, thestopmethod is always called.As of 3.5WorkbenchStatusDialogManager.setMessageDecorator(org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ILabelDecorator)is recommended.as of 3.3.
