Product/Component: Platform / UI
          Summary: "TokenViewer" API
          Product: Platform

           Status: NEW

I created a new JFace viewer that has API similar to TreeViewer. It is a text
field with content assist support. Usage example:
TokenViewer tokenViewer = new TokenViewer(root);
tokenViewer.setContentProvider(new BaseWorkbenchContentProvider());
tokenViewer.setLabelProvider(new WorkbenchLabelProvider());
tokenViewer.setInput(workspaceRoot);

This will create a text field for entering workspace path (you can see such
fields all over IDE). The viewer also has more advanced API for more complex
tasks. I provided a more detailed overview here -
http://eclipseblog.ostroukhovs.com/2009/01/29/tokenviewer-basics/

I opened this enhancement request for following reasons:
1. I can contribute this code if it is considered useful. I will maintain
(enhancements and bugfixes) it at least through one Eclipse release cycle.
2. I would need more requirements. Simple "can I create a field that shows X
and does Y?" would be enough.
