Description Wim Jongman CLA 2017-09-25 05:24:55 EDT 
How to duplicate:

1. Create new plugin project
2. Uncheck activator generation
3. Check "this plugins makes contributions to the UI"
4. Uncheck api analysis
5. Rich client application NO

Press finish

Even though I have checked "this plugins makes contributions to the UI" the wizards fails to add

org.eclipse.core.runtime
org.eclipse.ui

The "UI" flag is only used for the template selection. 

It used to add org.eclipse.ui and runtime but that was wrong, as e4 plug-ins would not work with an eclipse.ui dependency.

I see. This behavior changed from the original implementation. It would be more clear if it forced you to go to the template selection when this flag is set. Just like the "rich client application" selection does.

Or we rename the label?
