Build ID: M20080911-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
TabbedPropertySheet is missing programmatic methods to change tabs. Required methods are:

1. Return an ordered list of the tabs available for the current selection (returning the TabDescriptors would be fine, otherwise return the ids of the descriptors).

2. Return the current tab id (or descriptor).

3. Allow the programmer to set the current tab from the list returned by (1). This would merely perform a tabbedPropertyViewer.setSelection(new StructuredSelection(selectedTab)), for the tab descriptor corresponding to the id (or the tab descriptor itself). 

More information:
This has been lacking for a while and it's a fairly simple change that only adds functionality -- it does not change existing behavior.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
