<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"> <extension<br> point="<span class="style3">org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages</span>"><br> <page<br> name="<span class="style3">Carbide Extensions</span>"<br> class="<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage</span>"<br> id="<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage</span>"/> <br> </extension></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"> <extension<br> point="<span class="style3">org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages</span>"><br> <page<br> name="<span class="style3">Leavescan Preferences</span>"<br> class="<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.leavescan.ui.LeavescanPreferences</span>"<br> category="<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage</span>"<br> id="<span class="style3">com.nokia.carbide.cpp.leavescan.ui.LeavescanPreferences</span>"><br> </page><br> </extension></pre>
