Trouble with visible when [message #655938]

I have the following menu (trying to run on e4M5)

<extension
      point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
   <menuContribution
         allPopups="true"
         locationURI="menu:org.eclipse.ui.main.menu?after=additions">
      <menu
            id="de.eiswind.mango.client.menu.admin"
            label="%administration"
            tooltip="%administration">
         <separator
               name="additions"
               visible="false">
         </separator>
         <visibleWhen>
               	 <with
                     variable="de.eiswind.mango.client.core.user.isadmin">
                    <equals  value="enabled">
                    </equals>
                  
               </with>
           	 </visibleWhen>
   </menu>
   </menuContribution>
   <menuContribution
         allPopups="false"
         locationURI="menu:de.eiswind.mango.client.menu.admin">
      <command
            commandId="de.eiswind.mango.command.openvaluelist"
            id="de.eiswind.mango.menu.openvaluelistview"
            label="%valueLists"
            style="push"
            tooltip="%valueLists">
             <visibleWhen>
               	 <with
                     variable="de.eiswind.mango.client.core.user.isadmin">
                    <equals  value="enabled">
                    </equals>
                  
               </with>
        </visibleWhen>
            
      </command>
     
   </menuContribution>

However no matter if the variable is enabled or not the menu is always shown and the command is never visible. I had sourceProviders to disable the menus based on user rights, but i cannot get it to work on e4. Any hints on this ?

Regards Thomas

It doesn't look like the source providers are hooked up yet:
org.eclipse.ui.internal.services.EvaluationService.addSource Provider(ISourceProvider)

Hi, I used to do this through plugin.xml like

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.services">
      <sourceProvider
            provider="de.eiswind.mango.client.onix.ftp.FTPSourceProvider">
         <variable
               name="de.eiswind.mango.client.onix.ftp.cansee"
               priorityLevel="workbench">
         </variable>
      </sourceProvider>
   </extension>

(this is a different example) this works on 3.6 but seems to fail on e4. Is this a bug ?
