[eclipse-dev] Assert and ListenerList

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The new org.eclipse.equinox.common plugin
(exported by org.eclipse.core.runtime) has three very familiar classes
as new API: Assert, AssertionFailedException and ListenerList.  There
are *many* copies of these classes in the SDK, so now is a good time to
start using these canonical implementations and deleting your non-API copies.
 ListenerList in particular has had some thread safety bugs fixed
since most people copied it, so using the runtime copy will ensure you
are getting all the latest fixes.  Here are the copies of these classes
that I found in a search on today's I-build:
