Add "All Logging Fixes" menu item to invoke all other logging fixes in one go.

fully upgraded to latest eclipse, and much fat trimmed.

updated to latest eclipse APIs and re-instate all old functionality for code fixing tools. (e.printStackTrace() now supported).

Remove all "model driven code generation" - this is long since superceded by modern EMF/XText, etc

TODO: support import statements for logger variable type and factory method.

Release 0.4 is an interim release designed to get the plugin up and running on Eclipse 3.1, but with none of the new features being worked on for the next major release.

There are several bug fixes, besides those that only manifest themselves under Eclipse 3.1.

This will also be the last release where JET templates will be passed the entire JetConfig object along with the model object. From now, by default, only the model will be passed to the template, though I will try to ensure a degree of backward compatibility by allowing an option somewhere in the template configuration.

next release will include:

Model persistence, with search and edit capacity.

Template groups. Define template groups to implement code patterns that require multiple files to be generated. I.e. EJB, events.

More flexible GUI - especially in the model object specification stages.
