Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

I've encountered a case where linking errors are not displayed correctly anymore. The error message displayed is of the form "Couldn't resolve reference to <EClass name> ''.". (Note that there is an empty string between the two single quotes, i.e. the "link text" is empty.)

It appears that in the following method the third element of the triple actually is a leaf node itself:

LazyLinkingResource$DiagnosticMessageContext [line: 146] - getLinkText()

Shouldn't the leaf node's text be returned if the AbstractNode is of type LeafNode?

Reproducible: Always
