[news.eclipse.tools] Re: how to specify marker annotation preferences

The extension applies to the text editor (and its sub classes) and hence
you have to open the text editors preference page (expand node Workbench
and then node Editor). The Java editor as a concrete instance currently
only allows the annotations shown in the list and cannot be extended via
XML.
