Re: [platform-debug-dev] Update on request to change threadID to string

[Darin_Wright@xxxxxxx]

Finding that there are no usages of IThread.getPriority() in the standard Eclipse and Java Tooling code base, I propose that we remove the method #getPriority() from IThread. Debug models may then define their own representation of priority by extending IThread, if required. Any objections?

It turns out that thread priorities on Intel platforms are not numeric.
They have a class and number.   The class of the priority can be "High" or
"Low" etc.

I also need to allow engines to display "unknown" when the thread is in an
unknown state.   Displaying a valid number for the thread priority in these
cases will be misleading.
