[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-3113) Consolidation/clean up of preference pages

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-3113?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12936873#comment-12936873 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-3113:
---------------------------------------

Such plugins could define a dependency to the JBoss Tools plugin defining the category, and put the preference under this category. The JBT plugin defining category would simply have to be declared in target-platform.
I think it's already easily possible for Hibernate or jBPM which already have JBoss Tools in their target-platform. Drools could simply add the latest version of JBoss Tools to their target-platform.

> JBT currently has three preference page categories:
> 1. Drools
> 2. JBoss jBPM
> 3. JBoss Tools
> The first two should be listed as subsections of the JBoss Tools category. Alternatively, I suggest that the top level category should just be JBoss:
> - JBoss
>   -- Drools
>   -- jBPM
> Also, the JBoss Tools and JBoss jBPM top level pages in each of these categories do not expose preferences, but rather the default buttons or simply a label ("JBoss Tools"). These top level pages should show overall JBT preferences. See the Java preferences or other examples in the Eclipse platform for this idea. (Also note that the DTP 1.6.x way of doing this is wrong... ;)  )
