Class PropertyPageRegistry

java.lang.Object
  javax.ide.Service
      javax.ide.property.PropertyPageRegistry

public abstract class PropertyPageRegistry
extends javax.ide.Service

The PropertyPageRegistry is the registry of information describing what extension specific property pages have been added to an IDE.

Extensions register property page information in the extension manifest using the property-pages-hook tag. The property pages hook allows extension to declare property pages for the IDE and project preferences. Extension use the property-page object-class tag to specify the object class for which the pages are declared. For example, if the pages are for a project, extension should specify javax.ide.model.Project as the object class. If the pages are for the IDE, extension should specify javax.ide.IDE as the object class. Pages registered for the project and IDE are shown when the project and IDE preference dialogs are displayed.

Extensions can also use this registry * to associate pages with any object class. Doing so makes them responsiblefor providing the graphical user interface to display these pages.

Propety pages are associated with an object class. In general, extension writers can define pages for the IDE and/or a project.
