Bug 111959 [Viewers] ColorAndFontCollector and getColorAndFontCollector() visibility conflict
I'm creating a viewer for a custom table and extending StructuredViewer. In StructuredViewer the method getColorAndFontCollector() is protected so I should be able to access it. But the return type is ColorAndFontCollector which is declared as a package level class thus I can't call the method because the return type isn't visible to viewers outside of the viewers package.

		 * label provider. If it is an IColorProvider or IFontProvider
		 * set these values up.
		 * @param provider IBaseLabelProvider

		public ColorAndFontCollectorWithProviders(IBaseLabelProvider provider) {
			super();
			if (provider instanceof IColorProvider)
				colorProvider = (IColorProvider) provider;
			if (provider instanceof IFontProvider)
				fontProvider = (IFontProvider) provider;
