Build Identifier: 20110218-0911 When I run my Xtext plugin as an Eclipse Application from a host Eclipse and change color preferences for my DSL. These preferences are stored in a settings file in the workspace of the host Eclipse (and not in the runtime workspace). See http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=207226&start=0&S=0444892b35e1644be58cee63ba1dcd25&SQ=bc1ce9953d911fd999d85200d3a8ab6b& for the original discussion on the Xtext forum. Xtext 2.0 M6 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new Xtext project (default settings) and run the MWE2 workflow 2. Start the new plugin as Eclipse application 3. Create a test project with a test file (test.mydsl) 4. Change a color in the Syntax Coloring Preference page of MyDsl 5. The preference is stored in <host-workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/Eclipse Application/.settings/org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl.prefs instead of the expected ~/runtime-EclipseApplication/.metadata/.plugins
have you already tried to change the configuration area in the corresponding eclipse launch configurations dialog (default value is ${workspace_loc}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/Eclipse Application)?

I didn't know about the configuration area setting. The preference is indeed saved in the specified location.
