Description Philipp Kursawe

The State object returned by "State org.eclipse.core.commands.NamedHandleObjectWithState.getState(String stateId)" is a CommandStateProxy. One would expect its the class type specfied in the extension. So if my class type would be "my.LastIdState" and I would cast command.getState to "LastIdState" this would lead to an unexpected ClassCastException.
This should be noted in the API docs maybe.

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.
