How would I get Activity id and Pattern for items under preference page?
I got for some like Color and Fonts, but I am not getting for others.

Anand,

I would look through the plugin.xmls for extensions that contribute
preferences.

Anand,

This approach works well for me (where I assume the strings are
externalized in the plugin.properties)...

for i in $(ls plugins/*.jar); do unzip -o $i plugin.properties; grep
Text plugin.properties && echo $i; done 2>&1 | tee log

Archive: plugins/org.eclipse.ui.editors_3.5.0.v20081209-0100.jar
inflating: plugin.properties
pluginName= Default Text Editor
NewUntitledTextFile.label= Untitled Text File
NewUntitledTextFile.description= Creates an empty untitled text file
Editors.DefaultTextEditor= Text Editor
PreferencePages.GeneralTextEditors= Text Editors
BookmarkRulerAction.label= Text Editor Bookmark Ruler Action
SelectRulerAction.label= Text Editor Ruler Single-Click
TextEditorHyperlinkTarget= Textual Editors

To help you track down specific ones, you can open the preference page
and use Plug-in Spy (ALT+SHIFT+F1). It will display the class used and
the plugin it came from (although not the ID) but that should narrow it
down quite a bit.
