[oXygen-user] Plugin parameter setting.

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Michael,

So if I understand you correctly you want to save user preferences in 
the same place as Oxygen does.
Starting with Oxygen 12.1 in the interface 
ro.sync.exml.workspace.api.PluginWorkspace we added the method:
WSOptionsStorage getOptionsStorage();
which can be used to store (key=>value) pairs in the Oxygen preference 
files.

Also starting from Oxygen 12.1 we have this additional method:
   String getPreferencesDirectory();
if you want to save additional preference files but in the same 
preferences directory.

If you also want to be compatible with Oxygen 12.0:
You can look at a system property "com.oxygenxml.ApplicationDataFolder" 
which should indicate to a place like:
C:\Users\user_home\AppData\Roaming
depending on the platform.
In that folder Oxygen creates preferences directories called 
"com.oxygenxml" or "com.oxygenxml.author" depending on whether Oxygen 
XML Editor or Author is used.

Regards,
Radu
