Managing eclipse global preferences / eclipse installation level preferences

Where are the global preferences stored for eclipse? 
 eclipse\configuration\.settings folder

Here some plugins store their global preferences. For example: the recent workspace settings are in org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs.

MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES=5
RECENT_WORKSPACES=/Users/kondalkolipaka/development/workspaces/devbranch2\n/Users/kondalkolipaka/development/workspaces/devbranch
RECENT_WORKSPACES_PROTOCOL=3
SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG=true
eclipse.preferences.version=1

Same way you can store your plugin global preferences in your own file.

Take a look at this.
