I am working on eclipse plugin. I create an extension point on eclipse plugin. I've added a dropdown list. So I implemented a listener to know when the value changed and execute my logic. Here the snippet of the extension point :
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed.propertyTabs">
<propertyTabs contributorId="com.ibm.xtools.modeler.ui.properties">
<propertyTab
label="My new Label"
category="Core"
afterTab="modeleditor.property.tab.AdvancedTab"
id="com.test.plugin.tabs.MyNewTab"/>
</propertyTabs>
</extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed.propertySections">
<propertySections contributorId="com.ibm.xtools.modeler.ui.properties">
<propertySection
class="com.test.plugin.sections.MyNewTabSection"
tab="com.test.plugin.tabs.MyNewTab"
filter="com.test.plugin.sections.MyNewTabSection$Filter"
id="com.bnpp.ism.test.profile.tabs.MyNewTab">
</propertySection>
</propertySections>
</extension>

When I click on the Tab I can see the dropdown list with my value (ONE, TWO, THREE). But when I select a value of the list the listener run many times. It's strange because I just select one time the value. It runs the listener code many times until having the following exception :

Certainly comboViewer.setSelection in your listener trigger a SelectionChange event that will be caught by your listener which trigger ... and so on
