Description Yen Lu

I defined a property tester and then tried to use it to create a condition for
enabling a pop up menu action as follows:

<extension
   point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
  <objectContribution ... >
    <action ... />
    <enablement>
      <test ... />        <== Warning here
    </enablement>
  </objectContribution>
</extension>

The <test ... /> element is flagged with the warning:

Element 'test' is not legal as a child of element 'enablement'. However, the
code works. Documentation on the <enablement> element is very unclear. The link
takes me to a description that would say this is illegal but lower down the page, another form is given showing the <test> element as being legal.

The org.eclipse.debug.ui plugin also uses this type of declaration and these are also flagged with warnings. Finally, the problem is also reproducible on Eclipse 3.2M5a.

The false warning is a dup of bug 77043

If you find the documentation for <enablement> unclear, open a separate bug report against Platform/Doc
