Description Markus Keller CLA 2003-11-20 04:08:04 EST 
Preferences > Java > Editor > Annotations has 4 options for each annotation type.
I propose the following label changes (also for the text editor prefs):

"Show in text" -> "Underline in text"
                  (or "Squiggle in text"; don't know how to spell that)

"Show in vertical ruler" -> "Show icon in vertical ruler"
                            (to make it easier to remember which ruler is which)

200402101600:

The first proposed change is now obsolete since there's a combo with rendering
options.

I would still replace:
"Show in overview ruler" -> "Show position in overview ruler"
"Show in vertical ruler" -> "Show icon in vertical ruler"
Comment 2 Markus Keller CLA 2004-08-09 06:56:36 EDT 
Actually, "range" would be better than "position":
"Show in overview ruler" -> "Show range in overview ruler"

Get rid of deprecated state.
Comment 5 Markus Keller CLA 2008-06-03 10:51:05 EDT 
"Vertical ruler" is actually a misnomer: Both rulers are vertical, so "vertical" does not clarify which one is meant. The left ruler could be called "Left ruler" or "Icon ruler".
