1. Create a new plugin project
2. Create an ext pt.
3. Close schema editor if open
4. Save manifest editor (redundant step)
5. Click NO on confirmation message

The ext pt is still deleted from the list.

This is not really a bug.

The Message box asks if you ALSO want to delete the schema file. When user clicks No, the schema file is kept but the ext pt is deleted.

The message should be made clearer that the ext pt will be deleted but the schema file will be kept.

Easy enough to update the message in RC1

Curtis, please review if the message sounds any better?
Comment 4 Curtis Windatt CLA 2011-05-05 15:27:19 EDT 
What about the following:

ExtensionPointsSection_message1=Extension Point has been deleted. Delete the corresponding schema file {0}?\n\nThis operation cannot be undone.
