Eclipse RCP Preference page configuration (removing incompatible)

0
votes

I support a RCP Eclipse application. When I started application and open preference pages (Windows -> Preferences) I observed a few properties Items that are not applicable and not needed in my RCP application. I need to have, for example :

  • General properties page
  • my rcp specific properties page 1
  • my rcp specific properties page 2
  • my rcp specific properties page 3

But I see a lot of

  • General properties page
  • my rcp specific properties page 1
  • my rcp specific properties page 2
  • my rcp specific properties page 3
  • Java
  • team
  • and other properties pages.

Is there a way to remove non-applicable properties from my Application Preferences Dialog?

I use Eclipse Neon.3 on Windows 10

Thank you in advance Alexander

Are you actually using Java (Eclipse JDT) and the other things? Just leave them out of the RCP if you don't want them. Use a Target Platform so you can specify exactly what you want in the RCP easiily. - greg-449
Yes my IDE based om Eclipse JDT and Xtext - Alexander
You may still be able to leave out the JDT UI plugins and the plugins providing the other unwanted pages. Otherwise look at using the org.eclipse.ui.activities extension point to suppress unwanted pages - this will require some research to find out the page ids. - greg-449
