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

["John J. Barton" <johnjbarton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

https://bugs.eclipse.org so it can be tracked. I checked
and the 3.2 documentation describes org.eclipse.ui.ide.markerImageProviders
and no bugs are reported against this extension point going away.

John.
