Adding global preferences to the Carbide Extensions group

+ +

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 Carbide Extensions group. +

+

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. +

+

The Carbide Extensions group is defined in the com.nokia.carbide.cpp plugin.xml and such: +

+ +
	<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages">
      <page
           name="Carbide Extensions"
           class="com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage"
           id="com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage"/>         
  </extension>
+ +

Now your plug-in just needs to define the category where your new preference page is to reside. Take for example, the leavescan plug-in preferences:

+
	<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages">
      <page
            name="Leavescan Preferences"
            class="com.nokia.carbide.cpp.leavescan.ui.LeavescanPreferences"
            category="com.nokia.carbide.cpp.preferences.ExtensionsPreferencesPage"
            id="com.nokia.carbide.cpp.leavescan.ui.LeavescanPreferences">
      </page>
 </extension>
