Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2008-08-11 20:16:29 EDT 
The task editor provides extensibility by allowing factories to contribute pages that extend IFormPage. Some of the functionality such as cut/copy/paste only works when clients extend AbstractTaskEditorPage which is intended for implementing pages that edit tasks and support a submit operation. 

The API should be improved by extracting common utility methods and classes for form based editors to support other pages such as the planning page and context page with focus tracking, spell checking, clipboard support etc.
