I'm creating (problem) markers for a java file and I only have a line number
available when I create the marker. I add the IMarker.LINE_NUMBER attribute to
the marker attributes, but do not specify a CHAR_START or CHAR_END. The marker
shows up in the file, but there are no Quick Fixes available for it (using
Ctrl+1 or right click on the marker). When I click on the marker in the problems
view, however, I get the quick fixes that are possible. (This used to work in
3.0, doesnt now in 3.1)

I traced through the code and found that the markers with a line number get
their end and start range set to be the same in:
AbstractMarkerAnnotationModel.createPositionFromMarker(IMarker marker).  Because
the start and end are both -1 coming into the method, end = start. 

In JavaCorrectionAssistant.collectQuickFixableAnnotations(), there is a check to
see if the Position for the offset is within the range -- its a call to
JavaCorrectionAssistant.isInside(). isInside has the following body:
	private static boolean isInside(int offset, int start, int end) {
		return offset >= start && offset < end;
	}

BUT, because the start and end are set to be the same, its NEVER inside. The net
effect: any markers with a position set via LINE_NUMBER will not get a quick fix.
