PDE Enhancements

The projects I'm working with have plugin definitions with lots of commands, handlers and menus.
I often find it difficult to keep track of the items in the tree viewer on the extensions page
of the plugin editor. Also I find it quite annoying to see any handler with only the label "(handler)"
in the tree. So I modified the label provider to show the class name of the handler.
The filtering capability I also find insufficient as I cannot filter for attributes.
So I introduced a filter that extends PatternFilter and allows to filter also for attribute
values of the tree's items, as well as the labels (default behaviour).

Features (PDE Editor/ExtensionsPage/TreeViewer only)

• Filters for attribute values of tree items as well as labels with wildcards (default behaviour)
• Multiple filter patterns allowed by delimiter item: /
• Bugfix: matching item's children are now available
• Tree expand on filtering: tree gets only expanded until the matching items, not completly
• org.eclipse.ui.handlers: class name without package displayed as label
• Elements of type (test) are being displayed with their property attribute instead of only (test)
• Filter Related: context menu function added for quick overview of related items.
  Attributes supported: label, id, class, commandId, value, pattern, locationURI, defaultHandler
• Filter Related: keybinding applied of global command Find (Ctrl+F)
• Filter Related: context menu item only shown when selected item has attributes to filter with
• Filter Related: supports multi selection in tree

You will need to replace these files in your Eclipse 3.7 installation (/plugins).

• org.eclipse.pde.ui_3.6.100.v20110603.jar
• org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.7.0.I20110519-0100.jar

Please make a backup of the files to be replaced! The replacement plugins also running with 3.7 SR1 (3.7.1)
