Description Andrew McCullough CLA 2002-08-12 13:20:14 EDT 
CharOperation is technically internal API to JDT-Core, but it seems generally 
useful enough to use elsewhere.  I would like to see it made API, and possibly 
moved to a more general plugin/component (e.g. org.eclipse.ui? not sure..).  I 
suppose you could even create a new plugin (org.eclipse.util, but that seems 
like a lot of overhead.  

How this came up:  bug 9100 patch integration required removing references to 
CharOperation and converting to Strings in order to satisfy API rules.

It has to live inside jdt/core, since we primarily use it inside the compiler 
which can be used in a stand-alone way (just the batch compiler).

However, we could indeed surface it into an API package.
