Description Torkild Resheim

I've had some complaints[1] on the marketplace entry for the "OS X Eclipse Launcher" that it is impossible to find using the embedded marketplace client. And in fact using the name as the search term, it is not even listed in the top 10 results which are totally unrelated. I did not bother checking the other 347 matches.

I suspect the search algorithm has been broken fairly recently as this has worked not long ago.

It turns out I've forgotten to mark the plug-in as working on Eclipse 4.10 (and 4.11). I would expect that one got a warning about possible incompatibility instead of having the results being hidden.

Great! I am glad you found a solution to this problem!

I will close as WORKSFORME.
