This extension point allows a plug-in to register
viewers for specific content types.
These viewers are used in the <samp>EditionSelectionDialog</samp> when presenting an edition of a resource or a subsection thereof. The viewer is expected to extend <samp>org.eclipse.jface.viewers.Viewer</samp>.
However since viewers don't have a default constructor the extension point must implement the factory interface for viewers <samp>org.eclipse.compare.IViewerCreator</samp>.
a fully qualified identifier of the target extension point
an optional identifier of the extension instance
an optional name of the extension instance
a unique identifier that can be used to reference the viewer
a fully qualified name of a class that implements a factory for the
content viewer and implements <samp>org.eclipse.compare.IViewerCreator</samp>

<extension point = "org.eclipse.compare.contentViewers">
<viewer
id="org.eclipse.compare.internal.TextViewer"
class="org.eclipse.compare.internal.TextViewerCreator"
