Null control ids in SWTBot [message #991087]

One page in my RCP application contains custom composite

public class LocationComposite extends Group {
...
}

And I have some controls in it.

When I test my application with SWTBot
I could find all controls in by their IDs
except situation when control belongs to this custom LocationComposite

Within LocationComposite I have for example:

сheckBox = new Button(this, SWT.CHECK);
сheckBox.setData("ID", "сheckBox");
//сheckBox.setData("id", "сheckBox"); also the same result
сheckBox.setToolTipText("tooltip");

And in Tests:

SWTWorkbenchBot bot = new SWTWorkbenchBot();
...
//then find view, contains LocationComposite and in this wiew:

bot.checkBox().click(); //this works!
bot.checkBoxWithTooltip("tooltip"); //this also works!

bot.checkBox().getId(); //returns null
bot.checkBoxWithId("checkBox");// throws org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.exceptions.WidgetNotFoundException
