Revision Annotation

I believe the annotate support is hard coded to work with implementors
of ITextEditorExtension4. If your editor (or a page in your multi-page
editor) implements that interface, annotations should work. Most editors
that show annotations are subclasses of AbstractDecoratedTExtEditor.

Hello,
If I implement an editor and want to be able to show revision annotations
when the user selects "Annotate" in the context menu, is there any extension
points I need to use? Thanks.

Thank you Mike,
Jazz revision annotation seems to work with both ITextEditorExtension4 implementor and AbstractDecoratedTextEditor subclass. However, I saw one difference: If using AbstractDecoratedTextEditor, you can see the "annotate" action in the context-menu of the editor.
Do you know if there are any other differences? Again, thank you.

Whether or not the "annotate" action shows up in the context-menu of the
editor depends on whether the editor input adapts to IResource I believe.
