Bug 27842

When I open the New Working Set dialog for the first time (and let's say I know
nothing about working sets).  I have no idea which type to select.  I have to
guess which type I want based off of the name of the type.  At this point in
time, all of the names are very terse, so they don't give me much help.

It would make it easier for me to choose if working set types came with
descriptions so that I could click on each on, and a description would be
display which would help me choose my type. The dialog would have to be modified
in order to display the description, what I am envisioning is something like the
Label Decorations preference page.  For example, when I select the Java type, a
text area would populate with text similar to, "The Java working set type allows
the selection of Java and Java related resources, this includes .java, .class,
and .jar files."  Something like that would make me more confident in my working
set type selection.

As a workaround, we could suggest that more descriptive names be used.
