 * A vertical ruler is a visual component which may serve text viewers as an

 * numbers based on the connected text viewer's document.
 *
 * In order to provide backward compatibility for clients of
 * IVerticalRulerInfo, extension interfaces are used as a means
 * of evolution. The following extension interfaces exist:
 * 
 * {@link org.eclipse.jface.text.source.IVerticalRulerInfoExtension} since
 * version 3.0 allowing custom annotation hovers and specific annotation models.
