[platform-dev] (Where to) create new LTK bundles?

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

As part of our plan to better handle common language feature into a LTK https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Plan/4.8#Factorize_common_code_features.2C_commands_and_actions_into_a_Language_Toolkit , I'd like to refactor some things that could be reused by many *DT and Generic Editor, such as definition of the "Find References" command defintion, a common Highlight annotation https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=527007 ,  and various other things to unveil that are currently duplicated in many places and that are not related to a specific editor.

The question is what would be the best location to host those features:

* the org.eclipse.ui.ide bundle (after all, it has IDE in its name, so it seems to fit)

* some new LTK bundles

  ** if so, would eclipse.platform.ui be the best candidate? Or as most operations seem related to edition so far, eclipse.platform.text?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
