Although preferences can be stored programmatically, users will typically change them through the user interface. The canonical way of presenting preferences is through a preference page in Eclipse, which can be accessed through the Preferences menu. A preference page implements the IPreferencePage interface, but the easiest way is to use the FieldEditorPreferencePage as a superclass, which provides most of the standard plug-in behavior needed, along with the IWorkbenchPreferencePage interface.
