Hi Eugene,
I've seen the concept of adaptable used in many places in Eclipse but I'm not sure I fully 
understand the semantics of it. In particular, when and how will the adapter factory be 
utilized?

For instance, how do you make sure the adapter factory comes into play prior to situations 
like this:

if (sa instanceof IEncodedStreamContentAccessor) {
    try {
        encoding= ((IEncodedStreamContentAccessor) sa).getCharset();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    }
}

?

I see this type of construct in a number of places in Eclipse.
