This is a little problem with the feature editor. If a plugin in the list of plugins is no longer available due to version number changes then we see a little warning icon decorator in the plugin. This warning cannot be seen in the xml nor in the problems view.
Created attachment 122121 [details] Showing the problem Notice the little icon but no other indicators
I tried this out and I got a warning on the plug-in tab, a warning in the feature.xml source tab, and a warning in the Problems View. Can you please try to come up with a series of steps to reproduce?
Strange.. 1. Create a plugin project test1 2. Create a feature project and add test1 3. Change the 0.0.0 version in the feature editors plugin tab for test1 to 1.0.0 4. Change the version number of test1 to 1.0.1 In my two eclipse versions: Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20080617-2000 and Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700 Both with the same result/
Following your exact steps I can reproduce now in both 3.5 and 3.4.x. This would be a good polish fix during M6.
Created attachment 143697 [details] Patch for FeatureErrorReporter.java I've added another validation step to FeatureErrorReporter. Now it checks, if a plugin with the given id and version is available in the PluginRegistry. If not a warning is shown in the problems view and the xml editor.
Thanks for the patch, should be able to review it for M2.
Applied the patch with trivial changes, the marker doesn't go away on a clean but that is a symptom of the feature error reporter. Thanks for the patch Simon.
