Description Philipp Kursawe CLA 2007-11-21 13:37:50 EST 
Build ID: I20070621-1340

Steps To Reproduce:
Create a command for showing the NewWizard with a specific wizardID as paramater and the selection of the workbench is not passted to the wizard init method.

More information:
When WizardHandler.java discovers that a wizardId has been provided to the command, then it creates the wizard with an empty selection. Is that intentionally? Cause when the wizard is created using the wizard chooser the current workbench selection is actually delivered to the wizard.

Code from WizardHandler.java:
if (wizardId == null) {
			IAction wizardAction = createWizardChooserDialogAction(activeWindow);
			wizardAction.run();
		} else {
.
.
.
wizard.init(PlatformUI.getWorkbench(), StructuredSelection.EMPTY);
}
