Adding Link/RadioButtons/Labels to Eclipse Plugin Preferences Page [message #1259886]

Hi,

I have an Eclipse plugin with a description and three text fields.

However, I would like to add a group of three radio buttons that perform specific actions on changing the selected choice. I would also like to have a hyperlink to an information page where people can click it and be directed to their browser for viewing the information.

The library org.eclipse.jface.preference does not seem to contain such classes and functions.

Would it be possible to guide me to the appropriate resources or give me any hints on how to do that using the Eclipse libraries? I would like to have labels, links, buttons, all in the preferences page.

Regards,
Jeremie

Are you using a FieldEditorPreferencePage? You could probably subclass one of the FieldEditor subclasses appropriate for your preference and override the createControl method to add the radio buttons. It sounds like BooleanFieldEditor might work. Not sure what limitations are available as I have but one preference in my plugin, but you can probably heavily customise the controls of each 'field' to add the hyperlinks and whatnot.

Also, if the javadocs do not tell you as much as you want to know, a quick visit to grepcode has helped me a lot with Eclipse in general.
