[news.eclipse.platform] Re: markerImageProviders extension point

["Bruce Trask" <bruce.trask@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

Thanks for responding.  I did check out the Find References and did not find 
my extension point.  But then again I did not find the extension point
for my views either and they seem to work.  There seems to be something up 
with this markerImageProviders extension point.  I can't seem to determine 
exactlly when it wont come into effect on the runtime workbench.

Regards,
Bruce
