Description Lars Vogel CLA 2013-12-19 05:14:05 EST 
Based on https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/API_Central/Deprecation_Policy I suggest to mark the following extension points and the related coding for removal:

org.eclipse.ui.actionDefinitions
org.eclipse.ui.actionSetPartAssociations
org.eclipse.ui.actionSets
org.eclipse.ui.editorActions
org.eclipse.ui.popupmenus
org.eclipse.ui.viewActions

I suggest to remove them out of the following reasons:

1.) Reduction of future code complexity to make the maintenance of the existing code basis easier
2.) Reduction of complexity (available options) for new adapters
3.) Less support workload for the platform team

According to the policy it would take two additional releases after Luna until this API could be remove which should give adapters sufficient time to migrate.

WONTFIX for Luna.
