Description Holger Hoch

2010-08-11 02:45:30 EDT

Build Identifier: 

Method #getMetaclass(Object object) of class org.eclipse.e4.xwt.internal.core.MetaclassManager enters infinite recursion when called with a String argument.
Reason is the statement 
 ... if (object instanceof String) {
	return getMetaclass((String) object);
     } ....
that calls the method itself with the same parameter
(I don't know if this method would ever be called with a String argument, just stumbled across when looking how namespaces are handled)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
