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.

if (!add)
						break;
				}
				if (add)
					filtered.add(elements[i]);
			}
			return filtered.toArray();
		}
		return elements;
	}
	/**
	 * Finds the widget which represents the given element.
	 * <p>
	 * The default implementation of this method tries first to find the widget

	 * there, it is looked up in the internal element map provided that this
	 * feature has been enabled. If the element map is disabled, the widget is
	 * found via <code>doFindInputItem</code>.

	 * @return the corresponding widget, or <code>null</code> if none
