Hi Steve,

Thanks for your comments. In fact, ProviderContext is not a good place
to do this fix because it's just a container for provider extension
point description. I've fixed problem you described in the
AnnotationManager
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=238525) and I've checked
it at the org.eclipse.core.resources.IProject
annotation target. So, I believe your example would also works fine.

So, I tried to fix ProviderContext, but it doesn't have visibility of
the class. 
 
I did manage to fix this by adding a provider defintion for IField. BUt
this seems fairly ugly.
 
Not sure what the right fix is for this. May need to resolve the
provider in the context of the provider...

I have been defining quite a few annotations. However, some are not
working :)
 
The situation is this..
 
Define an annotation thus:
 
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.tigerstripe.annotation.core.annotationType">
      <definition
            description="Persistence Hints"
            eclass="TransientHint"
 
epackage-uri="http://com.cisco.tigerstripe.annotation.chameleon.persiste
nce"
 
id="com.cisco.tigerstripe.annotation.chameleon.persistence.inheritance"
            name="Transient">
         <target
 
type="org.eclipse.tigerstripe.workbench.model.deprecated_.IField"
               unique="true">
         </target>
         <target
 
type="org.eclipse.tigerstripe.workbench.model.deprecated_.IManagedEntity
Artifact"
               unique="true">
         </target>
      </definition>
   </extension>
 
The annotations all pop up in the 'create' box correctly (against the
right objects), but nothing happens when I try to create one...
 
Looking at
org.eclipse.tigerstripe.annotation.internal.core.ProviderManager, it
seems to be doing string comparisons on the target type against the
Provider type:
 
 <extension
   point="org.eclipse.tigerstripe.annotation.core.annotationProvider">
  <provider
   id="org.eclipse.tigerstripe.annotation.tsmodel.provider"
 
class="org.eclipse.tigerstripe.annotation.tsmodel.TSModelAnnotationProvi
der"
   targetDescription="Model Component"
 
type="org.eclipse.tigerstripe.workbench.model.deprecated_.IModelComponen
t">
    <delegate type="org.eclipse.jdt.core.IJavaElement"/>
  </provider>
 </extension>
 
I may be long at this wrongly, but that would be my best guess at whats
going wrong - that the classes should be loaded and a check to see if
its a subclass made. Any thoughts?
 
Steve
