Question

I have an RCP application and I need to set some values in the preference page as defaults when the RCP run as an application. I need to hide the Fast View bar and some menus from a certain peresepective that is why I need to set these settings from the preference page.

My application is not a product yet, so I cant use the plugin_customization.ini file to change in it.

Can anyone tell me a way to change the default values programmatically via the preference page or any other way?

You can use the extension point org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences

 <extension
         point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences">
         <scope name="SamplePreferencePage" class="com.example.SamlePreferencePage"/>
      <initializer
            class="com.example.PreferenceInitializer">
      </initializer>
  </extension>
