public class TextViewer
extends Viewer
implements ITextViewer, ITextViewerExtension, ITextOperationTarget, ITextOperationTargetExtension, IWidgetTokenOwner

SWT based implementation of ITextViewer. Once the viewer and its SWT control have been created the viewer can only indirectly be disposed by disposing its SWT control.

Clients are supposed to instantiate a text viewer and subsequently to communicate with it exclusively using the ITextViewer interface or any of the implemented extension interfaces.

A text viewer serves as text operation target. It only partially supports the external control of the enable state of its text operations. A text viewer is also a widget token owner. Anything that wants to display an overlay window on top of a text viewer should implement the IWidgetTokenKeeper interface and participate in the widget token negotiation between the text viewer and all its potential widget token keepers.

Clients should no subclass this class as it is rather likely that subclasses will be broken by future releases.
