Eclipse RCP Preference page configuration (removing incompatible)

Question

I support a RCP Eclipse application. When I started application and open preference pages (Windows -> Preferences) I observed a few properties Items that are not applicable and not needed in my RCP application. I need to have, for example :

• General properties page
• my rcp specific properties page 1
• my rcp specific properties page 2
• my rcp specific properties page 3

But I see a lot of

• General properties page
• my rcp specific properties page 1
• my rcp specific properties page 2
• my rcp specific properties page 3
• Java
• team
• and other properties pages.

Is there a way to remove non-applicable properties from my Application Preferences Dialog?

I use Eclipse Neon.3 on Windows 10

Thank you in advance Alexander
