Description Will Horn

2007-04-26 13:54:23 EDT

Build ID: 3.3 M6

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Create a new plugin with an editor (use the Sample XML Editor template, for instance)
2. Open plugin.xml and remove the icon attribute from the org.eclipse.ui.editors extension.
3. Run Eclipse Application with the plugin - the editor is not registered.


More information:
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why my editor was not getting loaded.  Eventually I realized it was because I didn't have an icon specified in the extension.  Note that the icon attribute does not need to be a valid path; it just need to exist in plugin.xml (icon="" works).

If this is necessary functionality, there should at least be an error/warning in the plugin.xml editor.  Otherwise, maybe this is a bug in the core Eclipse Platform.
