Description Hiroyuki Okamoto

2007-10-29 17:24:05 EDT

Build ID: M20070212-1330

Steps To Reproduce:
Using IExtensionRegistry.addContribution(),
Contribute to org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.
The preference page name will show up at the end of the preference tree on Preference Dialog without sorted.


More information:
This is because, the nodes contributed by static extention are sorted in CategorizedPageRegistryReader.processNodes(), but the nodes contributed by dynamic extension are not sorted and just simply appended. (see WorkbenchPreferenceManager.addExtension method)

Could you give me an example plug-in? This isn't easy to set up myself.

Adding Kim as she has been working in this area.

This may not be an issue any longer given our new sortation support.  We no longer sort in the registry - the sorting happens in the viewer itself.   I'll take this and verify once we get the basic support sorted out.

This is fixed in M6.  The pages are sorted in the tree itself rather in the registry at load time.
