Remove the XML file-based persistence fallback that was introduced in 2004 to migrate from a custom XML file to the configuration area preference store. After 21 years any user who has launched Eclipse even once has been migrated. Removed: readPersistedData_file(), compatibleFileProtocol(), getPersistenceUrl(), the XML tag constants interface, and the related PERS_FOLDER, PERS_FILENAME, PERS_ENCODING_VERSION constants. See #9
