Preference Task setting target platform status bar [message #1749944] Wed, 14 December 2016 08:34 Go to next message

I am using a Preference Task in my project.setup to set the target platform in status bar in Plug-in Development to true:
Key: /instance/org.eclipse.pde.ui/Preferences.MainPage.showTargetStatus
Value: true

However, the target platform is not shown in the status bar although the checkmark for the preference is set correctly.
As of right now, I have to manually uncheck the box, apply the change, manually check the box and hit apply again.

Is there a workaround so that the target platform can be shown right away in the status bar as selected?

There's probably special logic is involved in the preference page implementation. I expect nothing listens to the preference being changed to cause an immediate effect and likely the preference value itself is consulted only when the window is first opened. We'd probably need to add some special handling logic for this preference. You could open a Bugzilla enhancement request for that.

Thanks for the fast reply.
I created a Bugzilla. It can be found here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509227

Actually a restart fixes the problem as well.
After the restart the Target Platform is shown in the status bar.
