JDT UI Bug Annotation Conventions

To simplify bug management we started to tag JDT UI bugs with additional pseudo keywords (not normal Bugzilla keywords). The tags are prepended to the bug's summary field. Since we use these tags for internal bug management reporters of a bug should not add any pseudo keywords when filing the bug. The owner of the component bucket is responsible to add the keywords.

Keywords are used to group bugs without assigning them to a developer. So with the introduction of the keywords it is easy to search for all bugs belonging to a specific sub component. For example to get an overview of all open refactoring issues search for new, assigned or reopened bugs containing the word [refactoring] in the summary field.

The JDT Text component uses the keywords defined by Platform Text.
