[news.eclipse.platform] Re: markerImageProviders extension point not wor

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

I have looked around a bit to see what might be happening and it looks as if 
the markerImageProviders extension point is not processed by the platform by 
default.
MarkerImageProviderRegistry is never instantiated by the IDEWorkbenchPlugin 
and if it is, the registry is not used by any other frameworks.  Am I 
correct in saying that the markersImageProvider not processed and/or used by 
the platform at this time?

Regards,
Bruce
