| Eclipse Platform User Interface</h1></center> | |
| This document lists all of the extension points that the Eclipse Platform | |
| User Interface makes available to tool developers. Developers may extend | |
| various aspects of the workbench, both visually and functionally. | |
| <p>In general, each of the extension points defined in the UI follow a | |
| simple pattern. The extension point is defined within <tt>plugin.xml</tt> | |
| for <tt>org.eclipse.ui</tt>. Then extensions are defined for the | |
| extension point. These may exist in the same or other <tt>plugin.xml</tt> | |
| files. The top level XML element for any extension may contain one | |
| or more extension declarations. For example, an <tt>org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages</tt> | |
| extension may contain several instances of <tt>page</tt> elements. Although | |
| making one extension per subelement is not technically incorrect, we recommend | |
| grouping for consistent style. It can also improve workbench startup time | |
| because there will be fewer extensions to process. | |
