Using the Eclipse spies

Eclipse has several spies, which can be used to introspect the state of the running workbench. Some are available by default, such as the Plug-in Spy and the Menu Spy, but the ones relating to styling have to be separately installed from a snapshot build site at http://download.eclipse.org/e4/snapshots/org.eclipse.e4.tools/latest/
