deprecated method in Eclipse Preferences - Tutorial

[bountykiller]

Hi Lars,

thank you for your tutorial about the eclipse prefereces.
I have found a little bug in your code. In paragraph 3.2 you are
using:

setPreferenceStore(Activator.getDefault().getPreferenceStore());

Activator.getDefault().getPreferenceStore() is marked as deprecated.
The new method to get the preferenc store is:

setPreferenceStore(PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore());

have a nice day

Hello Michael,

thanks but I don't see .getPreferenceStore() marked as deprecated.
Javadoc attached below.

Where do you see the method deprecated?

Best regards, Lars

--------
/**
* Returns the preference store for this UI plug-in.
* This preference store is used to hold persistent settings for
this plug-in in
* the context of a workbench. Some of these settings will be user
controlled,
* whereas others may be internal setting that are never exposed
to the user.
* <p>
* If an error occurs reading the preference store, an empty
preference store is
* quietly created, initialized with defaults, and returned.
* </p>
* <p>
* <strong>NOTE:</strong> As of Eclipse 3.1 this method is
* no longer referring to the core runtime compatibility layer and so
* plug-ins relying on Plugin#initializeDefaultPreferences
* will have to access the compatibility layer themselves.
* </p>
*
* @return the preference store
