I really appreciate all the work you do on the Eclipse project. I understand that this defect isn't critical, but as a trainer and RCP evangelist I'm sensitive to defects that impact developers just learning the technology. Defects like this (that seem to make no sense) make those evaluating RCP nervous. In any case, it's therapeutic to vent, and hopefully this post will at least save other developers some time when they hit this issue. --- Patrick Hi Kim,

As annoying as it is for those who experience it there are SO MANY more important bugs for us to address that this one never gets any love. I personally own no less than 740 bugs and when the time comes to choose one of these from the bucket to fix the one that impacts the most people in the most visible way is going to get preference to one like this. Sorry. :( This bug is an unfortunate example of something can continue to fall through the cracks release after release.

The described behavior could be a good example in a discussion on robust and forgiving vs spec-enforcing extension points. However, you should consider linking to Bug 65731 instead. Bug 129765 is a duplicate of it :). https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=65731 Regards, Elias. Hi Patrick,

interesting article. The described behavior could be a good example in a discussion on robust and forgiving vs spec-enforcing extension points.
