Programmatically getting Eclipse preference value


What is the best way to use preference values defined in plugin code? For example, I have created a custom editor(multipage) and would like to use Text font preference value which is already defined in eclipse.

enter image description here

Code sample would be appreciated. Thanks.


Solution

  • This varies a lot depending on which preference you want to get.

    For the standard fonts you should use JFaceResources:

    Font textFont = JFaceResources.getFont(JFaceResources.TEXT_FONT);
