Description Frederic Fusier

Using 3.6RC1.

During the test day, I was using Eclipse in an unusual way, hence I set a working set in every places I can. E.g. I had set a working set in the Open type dialog reduced to the only project I had in my workspace: org.eclipse.jdt.core.

After having made many tests in my workspace with this unusual configuration, I imported the org.eclipse.jdt.ui plugin as binary projects and tried to open the RefreshAction type... and I was not able to see it. Immediately I suspected a problem in JDT/Core for the search all type name operation and try to import the plugin as source folders and several other unsuccessful tries... :-(

Until I remember that my Open type dialog was using a working set and then realize that the type I was trying to open didn't belong to it... :-S

Hence, I think that for users with a so little mind that I have, it could be interesting to have an visual reminder in the Open Type dialog saying that a working set is currently in used. Then, before blaming JDT/Core and opening a bug against this (wonderful) component, they should verify first that the working set currently in used is supposed to include the type they are looking for...

It already does that - see the dialog title, it should be 'Open Type - {Working Set Name}' ;-)

(To be honest even I didnt notice this rightaway)

and the same goes for Open Resource dialog.

Oh, ok, but IMHO this is not enough visible...

Anyway, there's a way to show that a working set is in used. I'll be aware for the next time...
Thanks
