Comment 1 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-03-03 15:41:17 EST 
Workbench also requires references to new points:

org.eclipse.ui.capabilities
org.eclipse.ui.documentProviders
org.eclipse.ui.fontDefinitions
org.eclipse.ui.markerUpdaters
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2003-03-12 14:42:57 EST 
The moveDeleteHook link is no longer broken (as of RC2).  I have also added a 
link to the new org.eclipse.core.resources.teamHook extension point.
Comment 3 Susan McCourt CLA 2003-03-16 14:57:44 EST 
in I20030315 - all the original broken links have been restored or removed from 
the toc.
Comment 4 Susan McCourt CLA 2003-03-16 15:06:55 EST 
The TOC and index.html entries are already in (thanks Tod) for:
org.eclipse.ui.documentProviders
org.eclipse.ui.fontDefinitions
org.eclipse.ui.markerUpdaters

Did *not* add TOC and index.html entries for
org.eclipse.ui.capabilities

because there is no generated html present for this in the builds.  
Tod - should this one be in the toc/index?
Comment 5 Nick Edgar CLA 2003-03-17 00:32:09 EST 
org.eclipse.ui.capabilities should not be included.
Project capabilities are a feature that we backed out of for 2.0, although the 
implementation is still around.  We will be revisiting this for 2.2.

Essentially the idea of project capabilities is to allow a simple project to be 
created, then add/remove features as you go.  Currently you must choose the 
type of project up front and it is impossible to change later if your needs 
change/expand.  E.g. start with a simple project, then add support for HTML, 
then JSP, then servlets, etc.
Comment 6 Nick Edgar CLA 2003-03-17 00:33:19 EST 
Just to be clear, despite my explanation above, we should not be referring to 
project capabilities in the 2.1 user doc or isv doc.
Comment 7 Susan McCourt CLA 2003-03-17 13:22:03 EST 
all issues raised in this PR are fixed in I20030316.
Comment 8 John Arthorne CLA 2003-03-25 10:30:39 EST 
Marking as fixed.
