Text in Debug Shell is bad. Please either remove it or make sure it gets removed when the user starts to type into the view.
Another option is to give the tip in the view description.
(In reply to Dani Megert from comment #0) > Text in Debug Shell is bad. It can be a matter of taste. Several contributors did perceive it as a good improvement in usability as it shows more immediately what the power of the view can be and make it more "attractive" for users to start taking advantage of it. > Please either remove it That'd be "bad" IMO ;) > make sure it gets removed when the user starts to type into the view. That'd be good: whenever the view is empty and focus is lost, show the comment. Whenever view takes focus and has only the comment, remove it.

To clarify: The "bad" was for the text not going away when the user wants to work with the view. I like the hint itself :-).
I'm moving target to 4.8.M7 as we'd like to focus work for 4.8.M6 on API-related patches. In anyone wants to work on it before that, please feel free to change the target back to 4.8.M6
And removing myself as assignee for the moment to let other interested parties take this issue earlier if they want to.

Verified using Eclipse SDK Version: Photon (4.8) Build id: I20180218-2000 Thanks Dani, Mickael and Lucas. Moving the message to Content description was really a good idea.
