How to create preferences for my project nature [message #803095]

I've created project nature of my own, and I want to create preferences for when you right-click on my project and go to properties.
I thought this would be an easy thing to do, using the extension point org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages, and I am able to create the preferences. The problem is that the properties show up for all projects. I just want my properties to show for projects with my project nature. There must be a way to do it since so many plugins create project specific preferences.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or even an example?

Thank you in advance.

Found it:

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages">
      <page
            class="com.company.properties.MyPropertyPage"
            id="com.company.properties.samplePropertyPage"
            name="My Project">
         <enabledWhen>
            <instanceof
                  value="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject">
            </instanceof>
         </enabledWhen>
         <filter
               name="nature"
               value="com.company.natures">
         </filter>
      </page>
   </extension>
