Hey Everyone,

I'm working on an RCP application, and everything was going splendidly until all of a sudden a security settings preference page started appearing among my preference pages. I found how I could get rid of the unwanted page, but unfortunately it was accompanied by following errormessage, which didn't go away:

!MESSAGE Invalid preference page path: Security

The error is thrown the first time the PreferenceManager is called. I've checked and rechecked the plugin.xml files of my plugins for obscure references to obsolete plugin dependencies but I haven't found anything.

I'm actually just getting started with the new project and I would hate to have to drag this error along until the end of the ride. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?

I believe that message comes from a preference page specifying a category="Security" but where there's no corresponding prefpage found with id="Security"

There are two places in the code where the message is being sent: WorkbenchPreferenceManager and CategorizedPageRegistryReader. Put a breakpoint there and you'll find out the problematic element.
