I have a Handler with an enabledWhen filter based on a variable that I've defined and implemented with a SourceProvider

 <enabledWhen>
            <with
                  variable="MY_VARIABLE">
               <equals
                     value="true">
               </equals>
            </with>
 </enabledWhen>


I declare the SourceProvider as follows

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.services">
      <sourceProvider
            provider="<my class reference>">
         <variable
               name="MY_VARIABLE"
               priorityLevel="workbench">
         </variable>
      </sourceProvider>
 </extension>


And here's my SourceProvider implementation:

        String state
        @Override
	public String[] getProvidedSourceNames() {
		return new String[] {"MY_VARIABLE"};
	}

	@Override
	public Map<String, String> getCurrentState() {
		Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
		map.put("MY_VARIABLE", state));
		return map;
	}

	public void setCurrentState(String state) {
		this.state = state
		fireSourceChanged(ISources.WORKBENCH, "MY_VARIABLE", state); 
	}


Pretty straightforward, but it doesn't work. I set the state of the source provider

ISourceProviderService service = ...
sourceProvider = service.getSourceProvider("MY_VARIABLE");
sourceProvider.setEnabled("true");


I see the sourceChanged event fired in the debugger with the value set to "true". But the handler remains disabled. I tried forcing an evaluation with the evaluation service

IEvaluationService evaluationService = ...
evaluationService.requestEvaluation("MY_VARIABLE");


But this has no effect either.

Can someone please tell me what I'm missing?

Of course as soon as I post a message, the answer occurs to me. The tooltip for the value attribute of the "equals" element inside the "with" element used in the "enabledWhen" expression notes that the value is converted to a java base type according to the customary rules.

So my expected value of "true" was interpreted as a Boolean. I changed the SourceProvider implementation to set the value of the variable as a Boolean instead of converting it to a String. Now the enablement works as expected.
