[eclipse-dev] Status handling problem in 3.3 M4

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a bug in Eclipse Platform 3.3
M4 that prevents the error dialog from being shown when a background task
fails (any job returning an ERROR status).  This means tasks such
as CVS operations may be failing, and there is no indication of the failure
to the end user. Failures are still reported in the log file.

A patched version of the plugin containing
the bug can be found here (based on the 3.3 M4 build):

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/platform-ui-home/patch/168720/org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.3.0.I20061214-1401patch.jar?revision=1.1

To workaround the problem, drop this
JAR into your 3.3 M4 eclipse/plugins directory, and restart with the -clean
command line argument.
