Did you ever wonder where the preferences for Eclipse based applications are stored? Well, wonder no more!

Locate your workspace directory for Lotus Notes 8, it will be under the data directory in a directory named “workspace”. In Expeditor, the default is under the current users Home directory under “Application DataLotusXPD”.

Here is the path from there:
.metadata.pluginsorg.eclipse.core.runtime.settings

Each file in that directory is the preference store for the plugin name. Here is an example list of files from my Notes 8 .settings directory:
