I'm adding a new Preferences page to my first plug-in, and I want it to

need to put it in the right category to do this but I don't know what the
category for this should be, and I'm not at all sure how to look this up.
If you don't know the answer, I'd be just as pleased with a suggestion as
to where I can find a listing of the id's of nodes in the Preferences
trees.

First and foremost, the category ID you want is
"org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Editors"
Now, how did I find that?
I opened the Preferences dialog and selected the Editors node. Using the
Plug-in Spy (http://www.eclipse.org/pde/incubator/spy/), I could see
that the dialog page class is
org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.dialogs.IDEEditorsPreferencePage and the
contributing plugin is org.eclipse.ui.ide, and because I have the full
Eclipse SDK installed it linked right to that plugin.xml file. Once I
was in the editor for that plugin, I looked at the Extensions tab to
find the preference page contribution.
Plug-in spy was the key to the whole process. But even if I didn't have
it, I would probably been able to guess that this particular preferences
page was contributed by org.eclipse.ui.ide. Or, I would have asked on
the eclipse.platform newsgroup ;-)
Hope this helps,
Eric

Seriously, I'm glad to help. Hopefully you can do the same for someone
else around here as opportunities present themselves.
