Favorite description from backend

Since this version, whenever you use the "Add to Favorites" button on Project Explorer or in the ADT Editor, the description of the object is automatically fetched from the backend.

In case of manual creation of favorites from the view menu, you can use Import button, found next to description field to achieve the same goal.
Each time the button is pressed, system selection is provided. You must be logged on to the system in order to fetch the description. No installation of any backend component is needed.
