Description Stefan Xenos CLA 2016-08-01 22:27:01 EDT 
Bug 499010 introduced new API that allows SWT apps to intercept and handle non-critical errors thrown during event processing. This was intended specifically for use in the workbench to prevent issues like bug 482513.

We should adopt it in the workbench. Currently the workbench redirects exceptions thrown from the top-level event loop to the workbench advisor. We should redirect all exceptions thrown during event processing to the same place, not just the ones thrown from the top-level event loop.
