Patch for org.eclipse.ui.workbench
Patch to output an error message if an unknown category is specified for a
view. Doc changes not included in this patch.
The attached patch file has two copies of the diffs. How was this generated? This may indicate a bug in Compare. In Package Explorer view - select the project (e.g. org.eclipse.ui.workbench) - right click on the project (for context menu) - Team->Create Patch... - select 'Save in File System' - enter a path for the patch Not sure which version of Eclipse I was using to generate the patch but likely a 3.0 Integration build shortly before the patch was generated. Deb is filing a separate PR against Platform Compare for the patch file problem. Patch released with a couple of changes: - do not externalize log error string - use Category.getName() instead of ICategory.MISC_NAME This PR was fixed some time ago but never marked verified. Verified in I20040210800 (candidate for M7). |
Nothing happens if the "category" attribute mentions an undeclared category in the <view> contributed to the org.eclipse.ui.views extension point. Steps to reproduce: 0. Create a plug-in that contributes a view to the org.eclipse.ui.views extension point and mentions the name of an undeclared category in the category attribute on the <view> element. (See attached plugin.xml and .java source file.) 1. Start eclipse 2. Perspective -> Show View -> Other 3. Expand the all of the categories. Observe: The new view does not show up any where. Expectation: If the category is undeclared, I would expect (a) the view to show up in the place it would had I omitted the "category" attribute entirely, and perhaps (b) a helpful entry written to the platform log. 4. Exit the workbench Observe: No log entry.
