Hi,
I want my plugin to load the default preferences given in the Preference
page. I have overridden initializeDefaultPluginPreferences() method in my
plugin class and have set the default values in the preference store. But
this API is not getting called and so my default values are not getting
loaded. If I call this API explicity, I can see the default values.
Am I missing something that calls the API mentioned which I might not have
overridden?
Here my default values are used to decorate the text in Package explorer.

Believe that it runs when the Plugin loads -- it is a core runtime
extension.

If use of the extension point is not desired for some reason, the
AbstractUIPlugin#start() method (overridden from the plugin activator
class) is available.

Could you tell that way of specifying the initializer?
My problem got resolved when I used the extension
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences"
