Bug 229180 WorkbenchPreferenceNode swallows exceptions
Reported: 2008-04-28 17:09:34 | Status: verified fixed

If an IWorkbenchPreferencePage is defined without a no-arg constructor, WorkbenchPreferenceNode.createPage() will swallow the exception. The symptom will be a generic "This preference page could not be created" error, with no stack trace available anywhere (nor even the class of the exception).
