Description Randy Giffen CLA 2002-01-09 10:51:26 EST 
From eclipse corner:

According to PropertyDescriptor's documentation, there is a class called
CheckBoxPropertyDescriptor. However, I didn't find it in
org.eclipse.ui.views.properties, and not anywhere else. Is this a bug? I'm
using Eclipse 1.0.

Here is the what PropertyDescriptor says:
 * There are several concrete subclasses provided in this package that cover
 * the most common cases:
 * <ul>
 *   <li><code>TextPropertyDescriptor</code> - edits with a
 *      <code>TextCellEditor</code></li>
 *   <li><code>CheckboxPropertyDescriptor - edits with a
 *      <code>CheckboxCellEditor</code></code></li>
 *   <li><code>ComboBoxPropertyDescriptor - edits with a
 *      <code>ComboBoxCellEditor</code></code></li>
 *   <li><code>ColorPropertyDescriptor - edits with a
 *      <code>ColorCellEditor</code></code></li>

This is a bug in the doc. 
There is no such class. 
The CheckboxCellEditor is not a "real" editor (it does not have a control).
Not sure of the reporter's case but perhaps a two-value combo box will work.
I have fixed the doc.

The documentation for IPropertyDescriptor suffers from the same thing. Not sure
if you want to open a separate bug, reopen this one, or just resolve the issue...

It would be best if you opened a new defect report and attached a patch that 
fixed the problem.
