PreferenceNode ( String id, String label, ImageDescriptor image, String className)
          Creates a preference node with the given id, label, and image, and lazily-loaded preference page.
 
Method Summary
 void add ( IPreferenceNode node)
          Adds the given preference node as a subnode of this preference node.
 void createPage ()
          Creates the preference page for this node.
 void disposeResources ()
          (non-Javadoc) Method declared on IPreferenceNode.
  IPreferenceNode findSubNode ( String id)
          Returns the subnode of this contribution node with the given node id.

PreferenceNode

public PreferenceNode(
String id)
Creates a new preference node with the given id. The new node has no subnodes.

Parameters:
id - the node id

PreferenceNode

public PreferenceNode(
String id,
                      
String label,
                      
ImageDescriptor image,
                      
String className)
Creates a preference node with the given id, label, and image, and lazily-loaded preference page. The preference node assumes (sole) responsibility for disposing of the image; this will happen when the node is disposed.

Parameters:
id - the node id
label - the label used to display the node in the preference dialog's tree
image - the image displayed left of the label in the preference dialog's tree, or null if none
className - the class name of the preference page; this class must implement IPreferencePage

PreferenceNode

public PreferenceNode(
String id,
                      
IPreferencePage preferencePage)
Creates a preference node with the given id and preference page. The title of the preference page is used for the node label. The node will not have an image.

Parameters:
id - the node id
preferencePage - the preference page
