Preferences usually apply either to the Eclipse framework or to individual plug-ins. To access preference dialogs, select Window > Preferences on the main menu bar. From the Preference dialog, you can access pages containing general Eclipse settings as well as pages for individual plug-ins. For example, there are preferences that apply to all the editors that are installed in the Eclipse workbench, and there are also preferences that apply only to specific editors (such as the ABL Editor, the Visual Designer, and XML editors).
