Summary: Very long error messages are truncated in the problems view

Description Huang Fu Wei CLA 2011-09-27 05:24:20 EDT 
Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.6.1 M20100909-0800

I used the below code to create a problem marker: 
IMarker marker = resource.createMarker(IMarker.PROBLEM);
marker.setAttribute(IMarker.MESSAGE, message);
marker.setAttribute(IMarker.SEVERITY, serverity);
marker.setAttribute(IMarker.PRIORITY, IMarker.PRIORITY_HIGH);

when the message is too long, for example, the message length > 259, then the description in the problem view will be truncated, we must right click and view the problem properties to see the whole error message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a customer IMarker
2.Input the very long message for it (message'length> 258)
3.The description is truncated in the problem view.

This is an OS limit.
