Description Remy Suen

There is no "Active Shell" section when you hit Alt+Shift+F1 in the 4.x SDK.

The code relies on the return value of the shell's getData() method.

In 3.x, a workbench window would return org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchWindow and a detached window would return org.eclipse.ui.internal.DetachedWindow.

Fixed in CVS HEAD. Detached windows won't get anything. This is an accurate representation as it is not backed by anything in org.eclipse.ui.workbench.
