Hi,
The class HTML2TextReader has a method getString() that converts HTML to =
text; however this API is private. HTML2TextReader class is defined in =
the package org.eclipse.jface.internal.text.html. Is there a =
corresponding public API that we could use instead?

Thank you

No, this is currently not API (see:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=241896).

Thanks I see.
However which API should I use if I want to convert the documentation which
is stored as HTML to plain text?
Thank you.

That's exactly why we didn't make HTML2TextReader API so far ;.-) It
only deals with a little subset of HTML that we deem needed to show
Javadoc in hovers. It is by far not intended as a HTML to text converter
and since this isn't an Eclipse specific problem there won't be an API
for that.
