/**
 * Abstract base implementation of a workbench property page (
 * <code>IWorkbenchPropertyPage</code>). The implementation is a JFace
 * preference page with an adaptable element.
 * <p>
 * Property pages that support multiple selected objects should
 * implement {@link IWorkbenchPropertyPageMulti} instead.
 * <p>
 * Subclasses must implement the <code>createContents</code> framework method to
 * supply the property page's main control.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Subclasses should extend the <code>doComputeSize</code> framework method to
 * compute the size of the page's control.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Subclasses may override the <code>performOk</code>, <code>performApply</code>,<code>performDefaults</code>, <code>performCancel</code>, and
 * <code>performHelp</code> framework methods to react to the standard button
 * events.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Subclasses may call the <code>noDefaultAndApplyButton</code> framework method
 * before the page's control has been created to suppress the standard Apply and
 * Defaults buttons.
