[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Problem decorator in Project Explorer does n

[Amir Kouchekinia <amir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Maarten,

Thanks for your response.  The Platform Runtime Binaries are available 
from Eclipse download page. See link for 3.4.1:

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.1-200809111700/index.php#PlatformRuntime

I don't know if this problem is a bug on the Platform IDE, or a missing 
implementation on my part.  Since Problem Markers are part of the 
Platform IDE, it seems that the the Project Explorer resource nodes 
should be equipped to display the icon decorations for the problems.

I am beginning to think that I should submit a bug report on this.
