Build id: I20050219-1500

I declared a move participant that should be notified when a MoveMethod  
refactoring performs. This works fine if I move a static method. I looked into 
the code and saw that MoveInstanceMethodRefactoring is also implemented using 
the processor/participant architecture. However, if I perform a 
MoveInstanceMethod my participant never gets called. 

Below is plugin.xml part that deals with this:

<extension point="org.eclipse.ltk.core.refactoring.moveParticipants">
 <moveParticipant  
class="edu.uiuc.refactoringparticipants.PersistenceMoveInstanceMethodParticipan
t" name="PersistenceMoveInstanceMethodParticipant" 
id="edu.uiuc.refactoringparticipants.PersistenceMoveInstanceMethodParticipant">
 <enablement>
     <with variable="affectedNatures">
      <iterate operator="or">
       <equals value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature" /> 
     </iterate>
  </with>
  <with variable="element">
     <instanceof value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IMethod" /> 
  </with>
  </enablement>
  </moveParticipant>
  </extension>


And the participant code is below:

public class PersistenceMoveInstanceMethodParticipant extends MoveParticipant {

	IMember member;
	protected boolean initialize(Object element) {
		member= (IMember) element;
		return true;
	}

	public String getName() {
		
		return "PersistenceMoveMemberParticipant";
	}

	public RefactoringStatus checkConditions(IProgressMonitor pm,
			CheckConditionsContext context) throws 
OperationCanceledException {
		return new RefactoringStatus();
	}

	public Change createChange(IProgressMonitor pm) throws CoreException,
			OperationCanceledException {
		System.out.println("AHA - got you!!!");
		return null;
	}
}


I tried to supply more information in the plugin.xml, at the moveParticipant 
extension point:

<with variable="processorId">
  <equals value="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.moveInstanceMethodProcessor" /> 
</with>

I got this from the MoveInstanceMethodProcessor's IDENTIFIER. Did not work 
either (my participant code never got called).

I also tried:
<with variable="processorId">
  <instanceOf value=  ... fully qualified name of 
MoveInstanceMethodProcessor /> 
</with>

and did not work either.

I inserted a breakPoint into ProcessorBasedRefactoring #createChange (the 
place where it iterates over all the participants and creates all their 
chages) and I noticed that fParticipants does not contain my participant at 
all.
