[platform-ui-dev] Activities update


There have been several changes to the activities support in the workbench in the past few days.  Most of these changes are cosmetic.  The  'Show All'/'Raw' tabs have been removed in favor of a 'reveal' check box that toggles the filtering state.  Additionally, if you've chosen to reveal hidden items then these items will be highlighted.  

The remainder of the changes have been to the API.  The above mentioned 'reveal' option may now be suppressed by the product manager by setting the IWorkbenchPreferences.SHOULD_ALLOW_SHOW_ALL preference to false.  In this mode the user would only ever be able to see items that are enabled by activity filtering.  We have also given the product manager the ability to enable an activity by default.  This may be accomplished by using the <defaultEnablement id="foo"/> tag in the activities schema.

Please see the following bug reports for further details:

The activities web page (http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-ui-home/activities/index.html) has also been spruced up by Tod and myself.
