Description Michael Illgner

When a validation range is defined on a org.eclipse.jface.preferenceIntegerFieldEditor and the users enters an integer not in the range, the message "Value must be an Integer" is displayed to the user,
which may be misleading. Better would be "Please enter an Integer between x and y"

There are currently no plans to work on this however I would be happy to look over a contribution

Susan appears to have implemented this at some point.
