Description

This was also suggested as part of bug 113908. Might want to ask UCD about this too. While it could have been phrased better, its being 3 1/2 years since it was released. At this time would it be better to leave it as it is? I guess people are used to this phrase now.

I guess people are used > to this phrase now. > I'd argue that *developers* and users very familiar with eclipse are used to this phrase, however, average computer users using an eclipse-based RCP likely have no idea what the heck "type filter text" means or implies. I think it just looks odd in the user interface in general. I like it, but think it could be presented a little better (not sure how off hand though). > average computer users using an eclipse-based RCP likely

RCPs can set their own initial text.
