Description Ed Willink CLA 2010-05-24 13:16:35 EDT 
Each Xtext editor contributes a top level Preference Page that will get unmanageable as Xtext gains in popularity.

Suggest rather than top level Mwe2 and Xtext, the pages are at

General->Editors->Xtext Editors->Mwe2
General->Editors->Xtext Editors->Xtext

etc
Comment 1 Stephane Barbey CLA 2010-05-24 15:23:57 EDT 
Currently, one can set the category on an Xtext language manually in the corresponding plugin.xml. It would be nice if this category could be given as an argument to the language configuration (to the ImplicitUIFragment?), but the grouping of languages in the preferences is IMHO not function of the underlying technology.
Comment 2 Sven Efftinge CLA 2010-05-25 02:23:19 EDT 
We have discussed the issue here #290752 and decided on keeping the pref pages on top level per default.
The rational is that
 1) IT is not a matter of the underlying technology how much top level an editor's preferences are. Usually there is one top level entry per language (ex. ANT, Java).
 2) The plugin.xml can be customized by hand.
