That is the way everything in Eclipse work. For an operation to be applicable
to a selection, it must be applicable to eache element. Yes, I get annoyed
at that sometimes myself, but that doesn't convince me we should be
the one plugin that breaks the pattern.
Actually what happens is that the whole action gets disabled if all projects
do not satisfy the criteria.

Ouch for linked resources. I really think we should ignore the link as much
as we can. It's a trap! I any way it needs more fixing that this and not
only here. A patch does not have to solve all problems in the world :)
I have no experience with linked resources, other that I found them enough
awkward to use to prevent from doing that. How useful and portable is
a C:\foo on my system? I don't mind anyone solving the problem, but it is
very low on my personal agenda.
