1. Open org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.tests/plugin.xml, open extensions
2. Find the wizard ToolchainCWizardPage (should be the 4th one), expand to see the toolchain item
3. Change the toolchain id to one that is a superclass, say cdt.managedbuild.toolchain.gnu.mingw.base
4. Open the project wizard, select the MinGW toolchain, proceed through the wizard.
5. ToolchainCWizardPage is not shown

Andrew, does that seem reasonable to you?

Currently a page of a toolchain is not shown for those who extended it. What is the way for the extenders to disable page like that to regain status quo?
I am not saying such an option needs to be implemented but could you develop an idea how to handle that if the need arises?

I can't think of a nice way for extenders to disable the page. It's not a big deal to have to specify the page for each extender anyway. At this moment I don't think the behavior should be changed.
