Question

Is it possible to create a second Preference Dialog that can take some PreferencePage, much like the standard eclipse Preference (Eclipse > Preferences or Window > Preferences)?

Current Approach

My solution so far was to create my own PreferenceEditorDialog by extend Dialog and implementing my own Preference Dialog style layout.

/**
 * A preference dialog is a hierarchical presentation of preference pages. Each
 * page is represented by a node in the tree shown on the left hand side of the
 * dialog; when a node is selected, the corresponding page is shown on the right
 * hand side.
 */
public class PreferenceEditorDialog extends Dialog implements IPageChangeProvider {

}

I would much rather reuse an eclipse implementation as I don’t have to maintain the code myself.

PreferenceDialog is what you are looking for.
