preference page for package explorer [message #267083]

Hi!

I am trying to apply an extension point of type org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages to any roots displayed
in the Package explorer. How I define this?

Example:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages">
<page
objectClass="????"
class="MyPropertyPage"
name="MyName"
id="MyPropertyPage"/>
</extension>

Hi,

your template is seems quite ok. You just have to fill in the following
informations:

- objectClass= The class which has to be selected to show your property
page. For example: objectClass="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaProject" which
means that this property page will show up if the current selection is an
IJavaElement.

- class= Correct, your implementation of a org.eclipse.ui.PropertyPage

- name= and id= Choose whatever you like.

- adaptable="true" I recommend that if you do not want to define a
property page for every kind of resource. If you choose adaptable to be
true, eclipse tries to find am adapter of the type, that you've declared
in objectClass. For example: If you want a property page to show up if any
IProject resource is selected, you should define
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject" and adaptable="true". It
than does not matter if you select an IProject within the Navigator-view
or an IJavaProject within the Package Explorer, because eclipse is able to
find an adapter for the IJavaProject.

I hope that helps,
Tobias

The line org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaProject is exactly what i wanted. How can I find out more such
objectClass-es?
