FilteredList control contains only List itself, but FilterText,which is always used together with FilteredList, is not defined in the control. FilteredText is defined in AbstractElementListSelectionDialog. It's very inconvenient, because if somebody wants to use functionality of the FilteredList without using Dialog, (s)he has to implement all FilteredText, renderers and so on. In other words, the user has to practically copy AbstractElementListSelectionDialog class, without extending Dialog. On the other hand, FilteredTree composite, which is contained in the same package as FilteredList, contains FilteredText. And it makes is really usable.
Changing Version tag to something more believable. Note that this is not a statement about when the enhancement request will be addressed (the Target Milestone field is used for that); the Version tag should be set to the version of Eclipse you were using when you saw the need for the enhancement.
