expression-based activity using <test property="org.eclipse.core.runtime.product"> : [message #336963]

Targeting 3.4.2,
I have bound some UI contributions (wizards) to an expression-based
activity using a definition reference in its <enabledWhen> :

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
<activity id="foo.activity.definitions" name="foo">
<enabledWhen>
<reference definitionId="fooDefinitionsAccessible"/>
</enabledWhen>
</activity>

<activityPatternBinding>...
</activityPatternBinding>
</extension>

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.newWizards">
...

It all works perfectly if I use systemTest in the definition, e.g.

<extension point="org.eclipse.core.expressions.definitions">
<definition id="fooDefinitionsAccessible">
<systemTest property="java.vendor" value="IBM Corporation" />
</definition>
</extension>

However I need the expression to check for product id (or even better
for isBundleInstalled)

as soon as I change the above to

<extension point="org.eclipse.core.expressions.definitions">
<definition id="fooDefinitionsAccessible">
<test property="org.eclipse.core.runtime.product"
args="foo.product"
forcePluginActivation="true" />
</definition>
</extension>

Then my activity is always disabled
Adding a breakpoint to
org.eclipse.core.internal.expressions.propertytester.Platfor mPropertyTester
and launching in debug ... execution seem to never get there.

I hope I'm just using the wrong syntax ?

Solved !

<extension point="org.eclipse.core.expressions.definitions">
<definition id="fooDefinitionsAccessible">
<with variable="org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform">
<test property="org.eclipse.core.runtime.product"
value="fooproduct"
/>
</with>
</definition>
</extension>

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.activities">
<activity
id="foodefinitions"
name="foo">
<enabledWhen>
<reference definitionId="fooDefinitionsAccessible"/>
</enabledWhen>
</activity>

<activityPatternBinding
activityId="foodefinitions"
pattern="...">
</activityPatternBinding>
</extension>
