my nature methods are never executed [message #604562]

My package is in scope because I assign the variable
private variable PoitinNature.NATURE_ID , so the package is in scope, but I can't get any of the PoitinNature methods to be executed. I'm just print to the console. Any help would be appreciated. I can't find anything on it.

I have a project nature define as below

IStatus status = workspace.validateNatureSet(natures);
IProjectNatureDescriptor descriptor = workspace.getNatureDescriptor(PoitinNature.NATURE_ID);

System.out.println("--> " + descriptor); // print null???

project.create(description, monitor);
project.open(monitor);
project.setDescription(description,monitor);

section 1 - extension defined
_______________________

<extension
id="PoitinNature"
name="Poitin Nature"
point="org.eclipse.core.resources.natures">
<runtime>
<run
class="com.eclipse.poitin.nature.PoitinNature">
</run>
</runtime>
</extension>

_______________________________________
I can create a new project and assign a nature

descriptor = workspace.getNatureDescriptor(PoitinNature.NATURE_ID);

System.out.println("2--> " + descriptor);

#section 2
____________________________________________

public class PoitinNature implements IProjectNature {

public static final String NATURE_ID = "com.eclipse.poitin.nature.PoitinNature";
//private IProject project;

@Override
public void configure() throws CoreException {

}

@Override
public void deconfigure() throws CoreException {
System.out.println("we are in the deconfigure part");
}

@Override
public IProject getProject() {
System.out.println("nature: get project called");
return null;
}
@Override
public void setProject(IProject project) {
System.out.println("setproject called");
}

}

Did you follow the example solution?

It includes a menu item that is added to the context menu of a Project Node. This menu item is typically called "Toggle XXX Nature" where XXX is the name of the nature that you provided.

If you have this, try clicking on it and see if this makes your nature work

Why would this work though,, does it initialise register the nature in the workspace..

I taught adding it to org.eclipse.core.resources.natures would have registered the nature..

(Thanks for response) This is melting my head!
