Hi,
I've got a problem with including standard eclipse preferenes pages into my RCP project. I did everything as described in the tutorial of Lars vogel: http://tinyurl.com/ye5tvma

Trying to open the preference dialog from my application, I always get an error: .AssertionFailedException. Digging through the classes showed up that fieldEditorParent in mother class FieldEditorPreferencePage is ot properly initialized and getFieldEditorParent() returns null as can be seen in

    protected Composite getFieldEditorParent() {
        if (style == FLAT) {
            // Create a new parent for each field editor
            Composite parent = new Composite(fieldEditorParent, SWT.NULL);
            parent.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL));
            return parent;
        }
        // Just return the parent
        return fieldEditorParent;
    }

I don't have any clue what is going wrong as I did copy the example from Lars' tutorial. I'm using 3.4. Anyone got a hint for me?
greetings,
Dagmar

the fieldEditorParent is initialized in the createContents() method.
Are you overriding it?

The Extension Wizard also a sample to create a Preference Page. You can
also try that.
