When the editor background is set to a dark color, the I-beam mouse pointer is very difficult to see because the I-beam mouse pointer color used by Eclipse is also dark.

Eclipse should do one of the following in this scenario:
1.  Set the I-beam to a light color when it detects that the editor background is dark
2.  Allow the user to configure the I-beam mouse pointer color

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open Eclipse preferences and set the Background color on the Text Editors pane to a dark color (black or dark blue).
2.  Open a text file inside Eclipse.
3.  Move the mouse pointer over the text editor.  The pointer will change the I-beam.  Notice that the I-beam is difficult to see.  This is especially true when the I-beam is positioned over text that uses a light color.
