Ok, i have seen questions for this problem many times in this newsgroup
and other forums but this just doesn't seem to get answered.
Now i seem to be having the same problem and i am stuck.

You create markers the normal way by putting an extension point in ur
plugin.xml and inheriting from org.eclipse.core.resources.problemmarker
and you create your marker using call to createMarker with and then set
all the attributes. all this inside a wrokspace runnable.
But the thing is the marker *still* doesn't appear.

Strangely enough if i create just a
org.eclipse.core.resources.problemmarker, then it displays perfectly
fine in the problems view and in the editor.

But then why isn't my custom marker showing up?

I have seen people asking about this problem many times, but their
questions don't seem to be answered here.

Pls, if this is *not* the way markers should be created , then it should
be said so somehwere, and that article on eclispe.org 'Mark my words'
needs to be either removed or updated.

I do hope that someone will read this and care to reply.
It is bloody frustating to do a thing exactly as its written and then
finding it not to work.

resource in the way described below.
Also, problem marker entries can be filtered out in the problem pane. Make
sure that your marker is checked. As to why there are no squiggles, i do not
understand.

<extension id="MyProblemMarker" name="MyProblemMarker"
point="org.eclipse.core.resources.markers">
<super type="org.eclipse.core.resources.problemmarker"/>
<persistent value="false"/>

Hope this is helpful.

Mine is pretty much like urs -

<extension
id="my.marker.id"
name="mf Problem"
point="org.eclipse.core.resources.markers">
<super type = "org.eclipse.core.resources.problemmarker"/>
</extension>

I have even specified an image provider for it-

<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.ide.markerImageProviders">
<imageprovider
markertype="my.marker.id"
icon="icons/icon_name.gif"
id="my.markerImages.idname">
</imageprovider>
</extension>

Try to create the marker using MarkerUtilities. If this isn't working
please file a bug report against Platform Text, if possible with an example.

Ok i figured it out. the problem is wrong documentation!!!

When you use refer to the marker type anywhere else, you gotta add the
id of the plugin to the id of the marker.
I don't why such a thing is not documented anywhere.
Also the example shown in the reference for the marker extension is just
plain wrong, cause it already has the full id specified in the marker
declaration, including the id of the plugin.

The article 'Mark my words' also does not specify this anywhere that the
id the plugin needs to be added!!!

Also the markerImageProvider extension, does not work if the marker you
are inheriting from already has an image. You gotta put in an editor
annotation, to make your custom marker images show.

I believe these are pretty serious errors in the documetation and should
be corrected.
