this is copied from the bug 62593 : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=62593

The JDT comes with a large number of widgets that are useful for people who
implements some plugins. Most of these widgets have an internal API so they are
not considered as reusable. 

Please could you promote this dialog framework to be public in the plateform as many people are using these to ease there developmenent despite they are internal.


Here is a list of widgets that are found useful.

see my comment in bug 62593:

The only way is to write spcific bugs to platfoirm ui and ask for specific functionality that you are missing (for example: a component implementing an up/down list). The current list of classes can't be made API as they are not API ready. This more or less has to be redesigned.
