Description Noopur Gupta CLA 2015-05-04 05:07:19 EDT 
Eclipse 4.5 M7 (I20150430-1445)

- Open a new workspace and open the "New Plug-in Project" wizard.
- Give a name and click Next.
- Select "Yes" for "Would you like to create a rich client application?" and click Next.
- Select "Eclipse 4 RCP application" and click Finish.
- The Activator.java of the generated plug-in extends AbstractUIPlugin, which is not resolved and shows compile error.
=> org.eclipse.ui.workbench should be added to the created plug-in's required bundles while creating the plug-in.

Lars, Can you please have a look at this one?
Comment 2 Lars Vogel CLA 2015-05-04 13:01:00 EDT 
Olivier, I think your new template should create an Activator which implements BundleActivator instead of AbstractUIPlugin. Can you provide a Gerrit review for that?
Comment 3 Olivier Prouvost CLA 2015-05-04 13:07:07 EDT 
??

Yes sure, and this is what it should do !  This behavior has been tested hundred times and it is really strange to find this kind of error... 

I guess my review has not been included in this version... (see bug #463822) ...
Comment 4 Olivier Prouvost CLA 2015-05-04 13:13:05 EDT 
You should use this review : 

https://git.eclipse.org/r/46700

Which was proposed in the bug I mentioned

Sorry for not merging at your existing review. I was not PDE committer before the M7 freeze.
