The Eclipse text editors could use some improvement by implementing some of teh functionalities available in similar editors, like EditPlus for example (www.editplus.com) Some examples, from the menus: -ruler on/off to show columns -Line Comment/Line Uncomment -replace tabs with spaces. -show/hide visual representation for CR/LF and TABs -change case of the selection (to upper, to lower) -Insert->Date, time, etc -regex support in find/replace -word wrap on/off ... Many of these features would be useful in any text editors, while others would be useful in a text editor geared towards programming. I believe the Eclipse framework needs such text editor, to provide these extra options that will be useful for any programming language plugin (PHP, Perl, Eiffel, Pascal, etc). It does not make sense to have each plugin recode all this.

Get rid of deprecated state.
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.
