/**
 * Abstract base implementation of all workbench editors.
 * <p>
 * This class should be subclassed by clients wishing to define new editors.
 * The name of the subclass should be given as the <code>"class"</code>
 * attribute in a <code>editor</code> extension contributed to the workbench's
 * view extension point (named <code>"org.eclipse.ui.editors"</code>).
 * For example, the plug-in's XML markup might contain:
 * <pre>
 * &LT;extension point="org.eclipse.ui.editors"&GT;
 *      &LT;editor id="com.example.myplugin.ed"
 *         name="My Editor"
 *         icon="./images/cedit.gif"
 *          extensions="foo"
 *          class="com.example.myplugin.MyFooEditor"
 *          contributorClass="com.example.myplugin.MyFooEditorContributor"
 *      /&GT;
 * &LT;/extension&GT;
 * </pre>
 * where <code>com.example.myplugin.MyEditor</code> is the name of the
 * <code>EditorPart</code> subclass.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Subclasses must implement the following methods:
 * <ul>
 *   <li><code>IEditorPart.init</code> - to initialize editor when assigned its site</li>
 *   <li><code>IWorkbenchPart.createPartControl</code> - to create the editor's controls </li>
 *   <li><code>IWorkbenchPart.setFocus</code> - to accept focus</li>
 *   <li><code>IEditorPart.isDirty</code> - to decide whether a significant change has
 *       occurred</li>
 *   <li><code>IEditorPart.doSave</code> - to save contents of editor</li>
 *   <li><code>IEditorPart.doSaveAs</code> - to save contents of editor</li>
 *   <li><code>IEditorPart.isSaveAsAllowed</code> - to control Save As</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Subclasses may extend or reimplement the following methods as required:
 * <ul>
 *   <li><code>IExecutableExtension.setInitializationData</code> - extend to provide additional
 *       initialization when editor extension is instantiated</li>
 *   <li><code>IWorkbenchPart.dispose</code> - extend to provide additional cleanup</li>
 *   <li><code>IAdaptable.getAdapter</code> - reimplement to make the editor
 *       adaptable</li>
 * </ul>
 * </p>
