Description Oliver Luecking CLA 2012-01-30 04:22:19 EST 
Build Identifier: I20111209-2100

(see image)
Pure E4 (M4+M5) installation.
Perspective: Plug-In Developement

The buttons for resume/suspend and others are visible and active, although no app is running.
If I click one of them, it switches to inactive state, without doing anything.

It is also unclear, why the debug buttons are generally visible in the Plug-In Perspective?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start clean E4
2. probably switching to Plug-In Development Perspective

I've moved the bugs to Platform UI, you can open any new bugs there.

That's bug 361562.

I don't seem to have this problem. Do you get the problem if you go 'Window > New Window' and open the 'Plug-in Development' perspective there?

Yes, it is the same situation.
I used a new E4_M5 installation.
The only thing I tried was to create a new plugin as a RCP application, based on one of the not runnable templates.

I see it now. There was some rendering lag on my end.

Interestingly enough, PDE is the one that adds the debug action sets to its own perspective.

<extension
    point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
  <perspectiveExtension
      targetID="org.eclipse.pde.ui.PDEPerspective">
    <!-- ... -->
    <actionSet
        id="org.eclipse.debug.ui.debugActionSet">
    </actionSet>
    <!-- ... -->
  </perspectiveExtension>
</extension>

Sounds good ;-)
Comment 8 Remy Suen CLA 2012-01-30 13:43:52 EST 
Same thing happens in I20120125-1800. Not an issue with Eclipse 4.
Comment 9 Curtis Windatt CLA 2012-02-01 14:44:12 EST 
Fixed in master.

Removing the addition has no negative effects I could find.  Perhaps it was added to ensure that the launch commands on the run menu were available.
