Just one question. Is there a special reason for
choosing extension points. Why not using declarative services?
Our main reason was more consistency with the current similar
features offered in Platform UI and Text Editor. Basically, since
hyperlink support is provided via extension points/extensions and
the feature we're willing to provide are exactly of the same grain,
we just chose the same implementation.
However, I don't think one of extensions/DS is much better than the
other for those features.
I haven't looked into the implementation details
already, but I think using ds would make things more modular.
And as extension points can be used to control the bundle life
cycle which would not have an effect here, using ds the loading
time could be reduced as only those classes / services would be
activated that are actually used.
Most extensions we provide in this 1st iteration/draft include a
"activeWhen" element to control activation of the contribution and
its contributing bundle.
