<h2>What's new in this drop</h2>
<ul>
<li>Code formatter: 4 new options were added to better handle the addition of
new lines after annotations.
<pre>
 * FORMATTER_INSERT_NEW_LINE_AFTER_ANNOTATION_ON_FIELD
 * FORMATTER / Option to insert a new line after an annotation on a field declaration
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.insert_new_line_after_annotation_on_field"
 *     - possible values:   { INSERT, DO_NOT_INSERT }
 *     - default:           INSERT
 * 
 * FORMATTER_INSERT_NEW_LINE_AFTER_ANNOTATION_ON_METHOD
 * FORMATTER / Option to insert a new line after an annotation on a method declaration
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.insert_new_line_after_annotation_on_method"
 *     - possible values:   { INSERT, DO_NOT_INSERT }
 *     - default:           INSERT
 *
 * FORMATTER_INSERT_NEW_LINE_AFTER_ANNOTATION_ON_PACKAGE
 * FORMATTER / Option to insert a new line after an annotation on a package declaration
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.insert_new_line_after_annotation_on_package"
 *     - possible values:   { INSERT, DO_NOT_INSERT }
 *     - default:           INSERT
 *
 * FORMATTER_INSERT_NEW_LINE_AFTER_ANNOTATION_ON_TYPE
 * FORMATTER / Option to insert a new line after an annotation on a type declaration
 *     - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.insert_new_line_after_annotation_on_type"
 *     - possible values:   { INSERT, DO_NOT_INSERT }
 *     - default:           INSERT
</pre>
The addition of new lines after annotations has been discussed in <a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=308000">bug 308000</a><br>
Also note that previously available code formatter constant FORMATTER_INSERT_NEW_LINE_AFTER_ANNOTATION_ON_MEMBER has been deprecated.<br>
All new options must be enabled to activate old strategy.

The previously added new APIs:
<blockquote>
<code>org.eclipse.jdt.core.IImportDeclaration#getNameRange()</code>,<br>
<code>org.eclipse.jdt.core.IPackageDeclaration#getNameRange()</code>
</blockquote>
have been moved to the org.eclipse.jdt.core.ISourceReference interface. See bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321764">321764</a> for details:

 * 
 * If this element is an IImportDeclaration, the source range
