Description Stefan W. CLA 2010-06-30 11:16:06 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

Extend plugin.xml editor to show "New Interface" dialog instead of "New Java Class " dialog for extension point schemas specifying an attribute of type 'java' which EXTENDs an interface. Currently it doesn't differentiate between interface or class extentions

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an extension point with an java attribute where the 'extends' field points to an interface
2. create a new extension of this extension point an click on the hyperlink in front of the specified attribute

I didn't quite get you. How can a Class 'extend' an interface. It can only implement it and for that there is a 'implements' hyperlink and textbox available right below 'extends'. I am sure you would have seen it already. Please reopen the request with more details about what exactly you are looking for and why.

I am not completely sure the build identifier means Eclipse 3.6 or e4. I assume its e4. But either way, the 'implements' hyperlink is there.
Comment 2 Stefan W. CLA 2010-07-01 11:15:18 EDT 
I want to create an extension point with an attribute of type 'java' where i select an interface in the 'Extends' field.
In the extension editor (extension tab) i now want support to select an interface that extends the previous specified interface of the extension point. But if click the hyperlink in front of the field the "New Java Class" Dialog pops up. But a java class never can extend an interface therefore the "New Interface" Dialog has to show up.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
