Description:
This extension point is used to customize the annotation model creation behavior of this plug-in's default text file buffer manager. It allows to specify which annotation model factory should be used in order to create the annotation model instance of a text file buffer created for a certain file content type, file extension, or file name.

The specification of an annotation model factory. In order to find a factory for a given file the attributes of each factory specification are consulted in the following sequence: contentTypeId, fileNames, extensions. If multiple, equally specific factory specifications are found for a given file it is not specified which factory is used.



Examples:

   <extension
      point="org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.annotationModelCreation">
      <factory
            extensions="xzy"
            class="org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.ResourceMarkerAnnotationModelFactory">
      </factory>
   </extension>
