I See Dead Code

Content Types in Eclipse do not only feel like spoilers bolted on to a pig in order to make it run faster – they also feel like if the pig decided not to like these spoilers at all. Okay, I do admit that we are not using content types as conceived. Just keep in mind to never try to use files in Eclipse that do not have an extension, or prepare for some rather nice surprises along the way.

Today, when I read the Eclipse documentation, I stumbled upon this page. I tried to understand the documentation of the enabledWhen attribute, but I failed somewhere along the way. Maybe it was because the classes mentioned in the documentation are deeply, deeply buried in Eclipse (I could not find them via Open Type…!?), maybe I was distracted by constant Python questions raining down on me.
