[oXygen-sdk] User-configurable options for a plugin extension

[Oxygen XML Editor Support]

Dear Rebecca,

Thank you for contacting us.

We do not have any extensions which would allow you to contribute to the 
Oxygen Preferences page. But you are not the first developer to request 
this and we'll try to implement such an extension in a future version. 
We'll notify you when we do.

For now indeed as a workaround you will have to build a Workspace Access 
plugin, contribute to the main menu bar an entry which shows the custom 
plugin settings dialog, then use the API 
"PluginWorkspace.getOptionsStorage()" to load and store your preferences 
together with the other Oxygen options.

Regards,
Radu
