I seem to have got it working by going into the Project Properties 
dialog under the "Java Build Path" Libraries tab and adding an external 
jar file :

views.jar - C:\Program Files\...\org.eclipse.ui.views_3.0.0

I found this Java Build path entry under the an example project that had 
the same reference to IPropertySource but, unlike my project, compiled.

I still don't understand why I had to add this manually. Is my Plug-in 
development environmnet not configured correctly???
