Description Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2004-09-23 21:05:53 EDT 
Nothing in the specification for the properties extension point or the javadoc
for PropertyDialogAction says that the objectClass property pages can be
registered against have to implement IAdaptable. But, the action casts the
selection to IAdaptable, which is bad. Instead it should test to see if the
object is of the type requested, and subsequently do the IAdaptable dance by
checking instanceof instead of blindly casting.

Workaround, write my own property dialog action.
