Dynamically programming Eclipse preferences page

1. Create a view and use it to see a particular preferences page UI.groovy

import tm.eclipse.ui.PluginPreferences.*;

def mainPreferences = new MainPreferences();

def viewId =  "test login preferences";

eclipseUI.add_View(viewId).close()
def view = eclipseUI.add_View(viewId);
mainPreferences.control = view.composite;
mainPreferences.createContents(view.composite)

return "done";

2. adding a text and label to the createFieldEditors.java

	public void createFieldEditors() 
	{		
		addField(new StringFieldEditor (PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_SERVER		 , "TeamMentor &Server:"					, getFieldEditorParent()));
		addField(new StringFieldEditor (PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_SESSION_ID	 , "TeamMentor &SessionId:"					, getFieldEditorParent()));
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_OPEN_ARTICLE_NEW_WINDOW	 , "&Open TeamMentor article in new window"	, getFieldEditorParent()));		
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_LOAD_PLUGINS	 , "&Load Plugins on Startup"				, getFieldEditorParent()));		
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_ADVANCED_MODE , "&Show Advanced Mode Features"			, getFieldEditorParent()));
		
		Composite parent= getFieldEditorParent();
		Label label1 = new Label(parent,SWT.BORDER);
		label1.setText("label #1");
		
		Text text1 = new Text(parent,SWT.BORDER);
		text1.setText("text 1");
		
		Label label2= new Label(parent,SWT.BORDER);
		label2.setText("label #2");
		
		Text text2 = new Text(parent,SWT.BORDER);
		text2.setText("text 2");
	}

3. cool trick to open Groovy Object Inspector from the middle of the code.java

	public void createFieldEditors() 
	{		
		addField(new StringFieldEditor (PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_SERVER		 , "TeamMentor &Server:"					, getFieldEditorParent()));
		addField(new StringFieldEditor (PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_SESSION_ID	 , "TeamMentor &SessionId:"					, getFieldEditorParent()));
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_OPEN_ARTICLE_NEW_WINDOW	 , "&Open TeamMentor article in new window"	, getFieldEditorParent()));		
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_LOAD_PLUGINS	 , "&Load Plugins on Startup"				, getFieldEditorParent()));		
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_ADVANCED_MODE , "&Show Advanced Mode Features"			, getFieldEditorParent()));
						
		Composite parent= getFieldEditorParent();
		
		Group group = new Group(parent, SWT.BORDER);
		ObjectBrowser.inspect(group);
		
  ....

4. now with the groupbox with login fields.java

	public void createFieldEditors() 
	{		
		addField(new StringFieldEditor (PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_SERVER		 , "TeamMentor &Server:"					, getFieldEditorParent()));
		addField(new StringFieldEditor (PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_SESSION_ID	 , "TeamMentor &SessionId:"					, getFieldEditorParent()));
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_OPEN_ARTICLE_NEW_WINDOW	 , "&Open TeamMentor article in new window"	, getFieldEditorParent()));		
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_LOAD_PLUGINS	 , "&Load Plugins on Startup"				, getFieldEditorParent()));		
		addField(new BooleanFieldEditor(PreferenceInitializer.P_TEAMMENTOR_ADVANCED_MODE , "&Show Advanced Mode Features"			, getFieldEditorParent()));
						
		Composite parent= getFieldEditorParent();
		

		new Label(parent, SWT.SEPARATOR | SWT.HORIZONTAL)
			 .setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false, 2, 1));
		
		String groupTitle = "To get a token You can use the form below to login into the current TeamMentor server (set above)";
		new Label(parent,SWT.BORDER).setText(groupTitle);
		
		
		
		//Group group = new Group(parent, SWT.BORDER);
		Group group = new Group(parent, SWT.NONE);
		GridData gridData = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false, 2, 1);
		gridData.verticalAlignment = 20;
		group.setLayoutData(gridData);
		
		group.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, false));	
					
		new Label(group,SWT.BORDER).setText("User name:");
		
		Text username_Text = new Text(group,SWT.BORDER);
		username_Text.setText("....");
		username_Text.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false, 1, 1));
		
		new Label(group,SWT.BORDER).setText("Password");
		
		Text password_Text = new Text(group,SWT.BORDER);
		password_Text.setText("***");
		password_Text.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false, 1, 1));
		
		Button login_Button = new Button(group, SWT.NONE);		
		login_Button.setText("Get Token");
		
		
		logMessage(parent.getLayout().toString());
	}
	
	public void logMessage(String message)
	{
		String consoleName = "TeamMentor Scripts"; 
		Console console = Startup.eclipseApi.console;
		console.new_MessageConsole(consoleName);
		//console.get(consoleName).clearConsole();			// use to clear
		console.write(consoleName, message);

	}
