Other products that include WTP, want to provide their own Validation UI, but yet still keep WTP in tact.

Provide a mechanism for allowing other plug-ins to "take control" of the Validation UI contributions. (These are Validation Preference page, Validation propery page and Validate menu item).

I explored various approaches for doing this.

1) Using enablement
2) Using activities
3) Using an extension point

1) didn't work because the UI extension points don't all support enablement
2) didn't work, because the validation UI contributions are already in activities, so there is no way to turn them off without turning off all of WTP
3) seems like the best/safest approach, but it is also the most work. I'll provide a patch for this approach.

I believe this is planned for 3.0 now? Or should this one be closed an a new one open?

Correct if wrong, but believe this is "done". Unless there is a better bug to point to as implementing this item?
