<ul>
<li>Added an option that allows @throws javadoc entries to defuse the unused
    declared thrown exception check. 
<pre>
COMPILER / Consider Reference in Doc Comment for Unused Declared Thrown Exception Check
   When enabled, the compiler will consider doc comment references to exceptions 
   (i.e. @throws clauses) for the unused declared thrown exception check. Thus, 
   documented exceptions will be considered as mandated as per doc contract.
   The severity of the unused declared thrown exception problem is controlled 
   with option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedDeclaredThrownException".
   Note: this option has no effect until the doc comment support is enabled 
   according to the option "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.doc.comment.support".
    - option id:         "org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.problem.unusedDeclaredThrownExceptionIncludeDocReference"

<li>Prefix matching can be disabled while using Camel Case API methods. (see 
<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=124624">bug 124624</a>).<br>
Following API methods have been added on <code>org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.CharOperation</code>:
<pre>
/**
 * Answers true if the pattern matches the given name using CamelCase rules, or
 * false otherwise. char[] CamelCase matching does NOT accept explicit wild-cards
 * '*' and '?' and is inherently case sensitive.
 *
 * CamelCase denotes the convention of writing compound names without spaces,
 * and capitalizing every term. This function recognizes both upper and lower
 * CamelCase, depending whether the leading character is capitalized or not.
 * The leading part of an upper CamelCase pattern is assumed to contain a
 * sequence of capitals which are appearing in the matching name; e.g. 'NPE' will
 * match 'NullPointerException', but not 'NewPerfData'. A lower CamelCase pattern
 * uses a lowercase first character. In Java, type names follow the upper
 * CamelCase convention, whereas method or field names follow the lower
 * CamelCase convention.
 *
 * The pattern may contain lowercase characters, which will be match in a case
 * sensitive way. These characters must appear in sequence in the name.
 * For instance, 'NPExcep' will match 'NullPointerException', but not
 * 'NullPointerExCEPTION' or 'NuPoEx' will match 'NullPointerException', but not
 * 'NoPointerException'.
 *
 * Digit characters are treated in a special way. They can be used in the pattern
 * but are not always considered as leading character. For instance, both
 * 'UTF16DSS' and 'UTFDSS' patterns will match 'UTF16DocumentScannerSupport'.
 *
 * CamelCase may or may not match prefixes depending on the given parameter.
 * When the prefix match parameter is <code>true</code>, the given pattern can
 * match only a prefix of the given name. For instance, 'HM' , 'HaMa' and  'HMap'
 * patterns will all match 'HashMap', 'HatMapper' <b>and</b> 'HashMapEntry'.
 * Reversely, if the prefix match parameter is <code>false</code>, then pattern
 * and name must have <b>exactly</b> the same number of parts, and their last
 * parts must be identical if they contain lowercase characters.
 * For instance, 'HMap' and 'HaMap' patterns will match 'HashMap' but neither
 * 'HashMapEntry' nor 'HatMapper'. Note that when the last part does not contain
 * lowercase characters, then the name may end with lowercase characters.
 * So, 'HM' pattern will match both 'HashMap' <b>and</b> 'HatMapper' but will not
 * match 'HashMapEntry'.
 *
 * Examples:
 *  1.	pattern = { 'N', 'P', 'E' }
 *  	name = { 'N', 'u','l', 'l', 'P', 'o', 'i', 'n', 't', 'e', 'r', 'E', 'x', 'c', 'e', 'p', 't', 'i', 'o', 'n' }

Note that same methods have been added on <code>SearchPattern</code> but with
<code>String</code> parameters instead of <code>char[]</code> ones (javadoc comments
are identical):
<pre>
public static final boolean camelCaseMatch(String pattern, String name, boolean prefixMatch) {
...
}
public static final boolean camelCaseMatch(String pattern, int patternStart, int patternEnd, String name, int nameStart, int nameEnd, boolean prefixMatch) {

</pre>
Note also that methods <code>camelCaseMatch(String, int, int, String, int, int)</code>
of <code>CharOperation</code> and <code>SearchPattern</code> classes have been
deprecated to avoid too many 'camelCaseMatch*' methods on these classes.
</li>
<li>Search Engine has been modified to better handle additional <code>SearchPattern</code>
constants while using Camel Case one (see <a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200400">bug 200400</a>).<br>
Existing <code>SearchPattern#R_CAMELCASE_MATCH</code> constant has been deprecated and<br>
is <b>now replaced by <code>SearchPattern#R_CAMEL_CASE_MATCH</code></b>:<pre>
	/**
	 * Match rule: The search pattern contains a Camel Case expression with
	 * a strict number of parts and preventing automatic prefix matching for the last
	 * part (if it consists of multiple letters).
	 * 
	 * Examples:
	 * 	. 'HM' type string pattern will match 'HashMap' and 'HtmlMapper' types,
	 * 		but not 'HashMapEntry'
	 * 	. 'HMap' type string pattern will match 'HashMap' type but not 'HtmlMapper'.
	 *
	 * This Camel Case match rule does not allow prefix match but accept insensitive
	 * case. For instance, 'HashMap' or 'HASHMAP' patterns using this Camel Case
	 * rule will match both 'HashMap' but not 'HashMapEntry'.
	 *
	 * This rule still can be combined to prefix match to accept prefix matches
	 * ('HashMap' pattern matching 'HashMapEntry' name). It can also be combined
	 * to case sensitive match to reject case insensitive matches ('HAMA' pattern
	 * will not match 'HashMap' name).
	 *
	 * If {@link #R_PATTERN_MATCH} rule is also combined, then the real used
	 * match rule will depend on whether string pattern contains specific pattern
	 * characters (e.g. '*' or '?') or not. If it does, then only Pattern match rule will
	 * be used, otherwise only Camel Case match will be used.
	 * For example, with 'NPE' string pattern, search will only use
	 * Camel Case match rule, but with 'N*P*E*' string pattern, it will 
	 * use only Pattern match rule.
	 *
	 * @see CharOperation#camelCaseMatch(char[], char[], boolean) for a detailed
	 * explanation of Camel Case matching.
	 *
	 * @since 3.4
	 */
	public static final int R_CAMEL_CASE_MATCH = 0x0100;
</pre>
This change was necessary has the obsolete <code>R_CAMELCASE_MATCH</code> could
not support correctly additional constants as <code>R_PREFIX_MATCH</code> or 
<code>R_CASE_SENSITIVE</code>.<br>
However, this deprecated constant is still accepted for backward compatibility
