text hidden

After digging in the Eclipse forums, I conclude that the current Eclipse text editor architecture does not support
such feature. See bug #35779 (bugzilla).

In addition, there's a document in Eclipse Wiki on this issue :
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Word_Wrap_for_Text_Viewer_and_Editor

I also installed the Virtual Word Wrap written by Ahti Kitsik which looks very nice, but is still "Virtual"...
See : http://ahtik.com/blog/eclipse-word-wrap/

You can find installation guide on http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t74384.html
I suggest we do a followup on this feature.
