Hey,

again probably a rather simple question... I want to add a preference page to my editor. What I did is

public class ExamplePreferencePage extends LanguageRootPreferencePage {
	@Override
	protected void createFieldEditors() {
		super.createFieldEditors();
		BooleanFieldEditor booleanFieldEditor = new BooleanFieldEditor("name", "label", getFieldEditorParent());
		booleanFieldEditor.setPreferenceStore(doGetPreferenceStore());
		addField(booleanFieldEditor);
	}
}

and I registered it in the EditorUiModule via

public Class<? extends org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.preferences.LanguageRootPreferencePage> bindLanguageRootPreferencePage() {
    return org.grammaticalframework.eclipse.ui.editor.preferences.GFLanguageRootPreferencePage.class;
}

But when I try to open that page I get the following error: "The currently displayed page contains invalid values."

What am I doing wrong? And how can I modify/ extend an existing preference page (e.g. "Compiler")?

Cheers,
Maximilian

HI,

I could not reproduce that with your sample code and Xtext 2.4.0

I found the mistake... When registering the page in Extensions I accidently deleted the extensionFactory in front of the class...

Now I want to access my preferences. So I tried it via the preferenceService

String pref = Platform.getPreferencesService().getString(INIEditorActivator.getInstance().getBundle().getSymbolicName(), PREF, "", null);

and also via

String pref = preferenceStoreAccess.getPreferenceStore().getString(PREF);

The preference is properly saved in the same file as the other preferences of the editor. Why doesn't my approach work? And especially how can I get it working?

EDIT:
Of course I just solved it after posting... with the filename it makes things easy of course...
