Hi everyone,

My plug-in implements a simple preference page with the following code:
public class SolsticePreferencePage extends PreferencePage implements
    IWorkbenchPreferencePage


The plug-in is singleton and is activated once one of its classes are loaded.

I extend Eclipse preferences with the following code in my plugin.xml:
   <extension
         id="com.kivancmuslu.www.solstice.preferences"
         name="Solstice Preference Page"
         point="org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages">
      <page
            class="com.kivancmuslu.www.solstice.server.SolsticePreferencePage"
            id="com.kivancmuslu.www.solstice.preferences"
            name="Solstice">
      </page>
   </extension>


This extension was working perfectly until recently (I don't know what caused the break though). However, now, when I test my plug-in, I can see the "Solstice" preference page in the preference menu, however when I click on it, I get the following error deterministically:
Unable to create the selected preference page.

Error's session data:

As you can see from the stack trace, the code being executed is completely in the Eclipse realm. Interestingly, the existing preference pages work allright (e.g., Run/Debug).

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the error, or what might be the best way to debug it?

Best regards, thank you,

I wanted to let everyone know that this problem automatically resolved when I updated my Eclipse to 4.3.RC3 (Kepler release candidate 3). I still don't know the reason of the problem, however it seems to be related to a change in the milestone releases.
