From bug 152170:

I envision a future, where all structured viewers can be filtered. For example,
I may want to filter a list, a tree, a table. It would be nice to have a
"FilteredViewer" object that could serve as the base for filtered viewers. Than
we could FilteredTreeViewer, FilteredTableViewer, FilteredListViewer... I
believe some of the filtering / update logic could be shared amongst these
different implementations. How this is actually done, I'm not sure yet...
however, I believe there is a need for different type of "filtered viewers".

Filed under [Workbench] since JFace cannot use the Jobs API which is used by FilteredTree.

I now believe the answer lies in reusable components that help building this.
