Hi,

the PDE uses the "Select Identifier" dialog (ElementListSelectionDialog) during the creation of extensions. For example if you add a view as perspective extension you can select "relativ" via the browse button.

If would be very nice if you could automatically include "*" in the search. For example I would like to type editorss instead of *editorss to get org.eclipse.ui.editorss.

This would be similar to the wildcard support of dependencies in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=269618

Best regards, Lars



Reproducible: Always

That was the answer I was hoping for ;-) I'll give it a try.

After a few years, I'm ok with the current behavior. Closing as won't fix.
