Created attachment 90699 [details] patch implementing extra constructor The PreferenceLinkArea is very useful for linking between preference pages, but it doesn't support linking to more than one page at a time. It would be useful to support this for cleaner page layouts and less fragile hackery with the page names and ids on the caller's end.
(In reply to comment #0) > Created an attachment (id=90699) [details] > patch implementing extra constructor The 'if (result == null)' conditional statement needs to close earlier right after the MessageFormat call in my opinion. Otherwise, if result is null, the Link widget never has any text set on it. Also, trying to click a link right now doesn't seem to open any pages. The SelectionEvent's text has apostrophes around it whereas the String returned from pageTitles.get(int) doesn't, so the equals(String) call fails.
Sorry, I mean, if result isn't null, then text is never set.
The apostrophes are caused by the NLS messages themselves. IDEWorkspacePreference_relatedLink = See <a>''{0}''</a> for workspace startup and shutdown preferences. I do not know we should try to circumvent this. Do we want to put the <a> tags inside? Do we want to strip out the apostrophes? Should we use string manipulation magic in the implementation of the widgetSelected(SelectionEvent) to handle these cases? There are no apostrophes in Java > Editor or Java > Editor > Mark Occurrences, but there are in places like Java > Debug and General > Workspace, so there isn't really a standard. ;(
