Description Curtis Windatt CLA 2011-08-31 15:26:52 EDT 
1) Check that both Invalid references to system libraries and Missing EE descriptions options are set to Error
2) Check that markers have been added to projects because of missing EE descriptions
3) Click the link on the preference page to install EEs
4) Install EEs, when given option to restart, select Apply Changes
Result:
Still have markers for missing EEs

Simple workaround is to do a clean of the projects.

We don't currently have a way to know that an EE desc has been installed successfully. We may have to override parts of the install wizard to do so. If we do something like that, we should look at improving the UI to preselect an update site and filter.  We could write our own wizard using public UI controls from p2, but we would lose the ability to view copyright information.

EE descriptions are initialized on startup. So "Apply Changes" won't make them being available.

Good point, but even after restart the markers are not cleaned.
