Hi All,

I have a toggle action in my plug-in and i would like it to persist
between start-ups of Eclipse. I actually want to do exactly what Eclipse
has for Build Automatically.

You can turn it on and next time you start eclipse it is turned on. I know
Eclipse holds a field about this in the Preferences Page
(IDEWorkspacePreferencePage.java) but I can not figure out how to tell
change the initial state of my action.

Thanks

Nikola

Actions? Or commands? Even with actions, I don't believe the state of
a toggle or radio contribution is saved and then restored.

I believe that state tends to be part of the plugin's model, but of
course access the plugin's model usually means starting the plugin,
which will eventually load all of the visible UI elements and action
delegates/command handlers.
