Bug 90257 [Preferences] Want to create an instanceof of a WorkingCopyManager
20050405 I'm currently referencing the internal class org.eclipse.ui.internal.preferences.WorkingCopyManager I have a base class that manages all the current settings and I changes that class to use the working copy manager. For the following reasons I also have to function when I don't get a working copy manager. To avoid complicated code it would be nice if in these case I could just use an internal instance of the working copy manager. - In the preference page, when testing if my container is really of kind IWorkbenchPreferenceContainer (so I can access the working copy manager) I have to also handle the case that the test returns false - We have some pages that are contributed by extension point that don't give me access to the container due to API limitations.

newValue= data.getValue(((Button)widget).getSelection());			
		} else if (widget instanceof Combo) {
			newValue= data.getValue(((Combo)widget).getSelectionIndex());
		} else {
			return;
		}
		String oldValue= setValue(data.getKey(), newValue);
		validateSettings(data.getKey(), oldValue, newValue);
	}
	
	protected void textChanged(Text textControl) {
		Key key= (Key) textControl.getData();
		String number= textControl.getText();
		String oldValue= setValue(key, number);
		validateSettings(key, oldValue, number);
	}	
	protected boolean checkValue(Key key, String value) {
		return value.equals(getValue(key));
	}
	
	protected String getValue(Key key) {
		if (fDisabledProjectSettings != null) {
			return (String) fDisabledProjectSettings.get(key);
		}
		return key.getStoredValue(fLookupOrder, false, fManager);
	}
	
	
	protected boolean getBooleanValue(Key key) {
		return Boolean.valueOf(getValue(key)).booleanValue();
