Description Mike Wilson CLA 2005-08-05 12:08:32 EDT 
The Eclipse text editor should better support RCP applications, by making features like the following 
available to them: annotation presentation and navigation, user assigned colors and fonts, spell checking, 
folding, quick diff, templates, and file buffers. The Eclipse workbench layout should be further opened up 
to allow RCP applications to have more control over its presentation. More generally, the dependencies 
between low level components, such as the extension registry and platform runtime, should be reduced to 
allow them to be more easily reused. [Platform Text, UI, Runtime]

Note: "More generally, the dependencies between low level components, such as the extension registry 
and platform runtime, should be reduced to allow them to be more easily reused." has been moved to a 
separate plan item. See bug #113663.

Moving this item to UI for consistency.
