[news.eclipse.tools] Re: external tool, click on errors with line number

["Rob Nikander" <nikaREMOVEnder@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks,
For future reference, is there a way I could have found this information in
the Eclipse Help docs?  I am looking at  "Platform Plugin Developer Guide" /
"Reference" / "Extension Points Reference" and the extension point you
mentioned is not there. ?  Are there more extension point listed elsewhere?
Does one need to look at the source code to find some of them?
