<h2>Adding global preferences to the Carbide Extensions group</h2>

<p>If you are creating a plug-in specifically for use with Carbide.c++ and it requires a global preferences page, we recommend that you add your preference page(s) under the<strong> Carbide Extensions</strong> group.
</p>
<p>Following this guideline reduces the likelihood of preference page clutter for uses with multiple Carbide extension plug-ins.
It also provides users with a consistent place to look for Carbide.c++ global preferences.
</p>
<p>The<strong> Carbide Extensions</strong> group is defined in the <span class="style5">com.nokia.carbide.cpp plugin.xml</span> and such:
</p>

<pre class="listing">	&lt;extension<br>         point=&quot;<span class="style3">org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages</span>&quot;&gt;<br>      &lt;page<br>           name=&quot;<span class="style3">Carbide Extensions</span>&quot;<br>           class=&quot;<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage</span>&quot;<br>           id=&quot;<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage</span>&quot;/&gt;         <br>  &lt;/extension&gt;</pre>

<p>Now your plug-in just needs to define the <span class="style5">category</span> where your new preference page is to reside. Take for example, the <span class="style5">leavescan</span> plug-in preferences:</p>
<pre class="listing">	&lt;extension<br>         point=&quot;<span class="style3">org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages</span>&quot;&gt;<br>      &lt;page<br>            name=&quot;<span class="style3">Leavescan Preferences</span>&quot;<br>            class=&quot;<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.leavescan.ui.LeavescanPreferences</span>&quot;<br>            category=&quot;<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage</span>&quot;<br>            id=&quot;<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.leavescan.ui.LeavescanPreferences</span>&quot;&gt;<br>      &lt;/page&gt;<br> &lt;/extension&gt;</pre>
