Search Preferences Page Plugin

Plugin for searching within the Eclipse workbench. Provides an extension-point for search pages and comes with three search pages for searching:

  1. Preference pages
  2. Menu items
  3. Views

Have you ever been looking for a preference named "foo" but were not able to find it?

This plugin crawls all widgets from all preferences pages, even including combobox, list and tree items. All textual matches are then shown in a list. You can review the detailed matches and directly go to the selected preference page.

  1. Result table now shows icons (Component type symbols when searching for preferences pages and view icons when searching for views).
  2. Changed style for highlighting controls when searching preferences pages. The code has been taken from the new cSpy plugin and now also works with buttons under Windows.
  3. Added group widgets (etched borders with text) to searched components when searching for preferences pages
