I try to implement a property page for an eclipse plugin which is only visible when the selected file has a specific persistentProperty e.g. TYPE.

I create a file prorammatically in the project and add a persistentProperty with the following code:

file.setPersistentProperty(
         new QualifiedName("", "TYPE"),
         "Example");

In next step i configure the PropPage-Setting in the plugin.xml:

<page
            adaptable="true"
            class="propPage.FilePropertyPage"
            id="propPage.FilePropertyPage"
            name="FilePropertyPage">
         <enabledWhen>
            <adapt
                  type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
               <test
                     property="org.eclipse.core.resources.persistentProperty"
                     value="TYPE">
               </test>
            </adapt>
         </enabledWhen>
</page>

But i cant see my PropertyPage for the specific file.

The following code works fine for the PropertyPages for files with the extension .jsp :

<page
            adaptable="true"
            class="propPage.FilePropertyPage"
            id="propPage.FilePropertyPage"
            name="FilePropertyPage">
         <enabledWhen>
            <adapt
                  type="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource">
               <test
                     property="org.eclipse.core.resources.name"
                     value="*.jsp">
               </test>
            </adapt>
         </enabledWhen>
</page>

When i read the PersistentProperty with the following code is works also fine:
