Hi Bruno

You are right, FDP was there before
we added the TFDP. The main difference is that TFDP is backed by file buffers.
Going forward, we could deprecate FDP.

Cheers!
Dani

What's the story behind FileDocumentProvider ?

FileDocumentProvider came across my attention recently,
and I was wondering, what's the story behind it? What's its purpose, especially
as compared to TextFileDocumentProvider? I notice for example that there
is a lot of code in FileDocumentProvider that is duplicated in the AbstractFileBuffer
subclasses, especially ResourceTextFileBuffer. (and the AbstractFileBuffer
classes are what TextFileDocumentProvider delegates to for most of its
work)
Is it the case that TextFileDocumentProvider is a newer,
better API, a successor to FileDocumentProvider? If so, are there still
relevant aspects that FileDocumentProvider can provide, that TextFileDocumentProvider
doesn't?
