Description Nicolas Bros CLA 2010-05-10 10:59:04 EDT 
The Query and Facet editors now display an error decorator when a marker is set on a model element. But there is currently no way to know what error it is without looking at the Problems view (in which potentially many other unrelated problems are displayed, making it harder to find).

Text editors in Eclipse solve this by displaying the markers as squiggly lines and decorators in the margins.

We should display the error message in a tooltip when hovering over the element or error decorator.

This patch adds tooltips that appear on mouse hover, and show a description of the error.
