Hello,

 

I noticed that my property tester is Eclipse 4.3 is called all the time.

That wasn’t the case with Eclipse 3.x – it was called only after the workbench selection changed.

 

After debugging a bit I realized that the update is caused due to a 400 ms timer – ToolItemUpdateTimer.

 

Is this an intentional behavior?

Yes, it's intentional.  It keeps the state of any toolitems up to date.  There's a bug to look at alternatives (the goal is to make sure the toolitem state is correct) but there's no current solution to this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385394
