Description

If someone overrides the StandaloneSetup for his language e.g.
PlatformServiceStandaloneSetup extends ServiceStandaloneSetup,
the name of the PreferenceStore containing the outputconfiguration settings is derived from the
standalone setup name, here packagename.PlatformService,
but IPreferenceStoreAcess expects the name of the language.
Therefore the settings are not found in the EclipseOutputConfigurationProvider.
As a workaround someone could override the qualifier of the PreferenceStoreAcessimpl, right?
