[news.eclipse.tools.jdt] [PDE] 3.1M7/RC1 vs. R3.02 plugin PreferencesPag

["Valentino Kyriakides" <vkyr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wonder if the PreferencePage might now behave much different for 3.1M7/RC1
than before under R3.02 for plugins that define their own PreferencePage
contents. Actually I realized that the PreferencePage contents of my third
party  SWT Memory Monitor plugin isn't any longer shown up fully correctly.

The SWT Memory Monitor's PrefrencesPage usually should show up in it's first
row a Composite which contains 3 widgets, namely a label followed by a text
field and another label, e.g.:

-->   Refresh Rate:  [___1000_]  ms
-->   ...
-->   ...

This first Composite ist then followed by other Composites rows (above shown
as "..." place holders) which define additional needed widget setup stuff
for the plugin's PreferecesPage.

Now under Eclipse 3.1M7/RC1 the SWT Memory Monitor only shows up for the
first row Composite just the first defined label inside the Composite, e.g.:

-->   Refresh Rate:
-->   ...
-->   ...

the rest inside the Composite, the refresh rate text field and "ms" label
aren't shown anymore. The other following rows of Composites (...) are shown
up instead correctly. - I wonder that the preferences page stuff behaves now
somehow odd for 3.1M7/RC1 since the plugins code for the PreferencePage
showed up correctly so far under every Eclipse realease including R3.02.

Are there still any serious problems related to the Eclipse 3.1 streams and
their preferences page handling? Or did some general design changes have
taken place for the 3.1 streams related to PreferencesPages?

Any ideas for what might be the cause of those now happening preference page
glitches are welcome!
