Description Walter Harley CLA 2006-05-30 20:31:32 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #143872 +++

N20060525-0010

The schema for org.eclipse.jdt.core's compilationParticipant extension point is incomplete:

* 'factory > class' attribute should have:
- Type: 'java' (not 'string') and
- Extends: 'org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.CompilationParticipant'

Without these meta attributes, PDE cannot properly support contributors:
- 'Rename Type' refactorings and Java search don't find/update references in plugin.xml
- no validation of contributed processor factory classes
- no help for creating new processor factories

* boilerplate "[Enter description of ..." and empty documentation in a few places
