A proposal sorter contribution.
- id - the unique identifier of the sorter
- name - the label of the sorter as shown in the preferences. It should be a continuation of the phrase "Sort proposals...", for example "by relevance".
- class - the name of the class that implements the contributed sorter. The
class must be a public subclass of
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.text.java.AbstractProposalSorter
and must have a public 0-argument constructor.
- requiresUIThread - Whether the given extension requires to run in UI Thread. If extension doesn't require to run in UI Thread to work, this should be set to "false". It's recommended for an extension to not require UI Thread and have this set to "false" in order to improve performances.
If "false", the sorter may run in a non UI Thread.
If "true", the sorter will run in UI Thread, freezing the UI while computing.
