Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2011-09-13 10:23:11 EDT 
CQ:WIND00253872
Build ID: TM 3.3

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the terminal view (Window > Show View > Terminal).
2. Press the "Connection Properties" buttons and pick Telnet connection.
3. Enter a host name, and 77777 as the port number. Press OK.
4. The dialog says the settings are wrong without mentioning what is wrong.

The problem as per a TODO comment in the header of ISettingsPage.java -- the ISettingsPage doesn't provide API for settings implementations to give an error string when validation fails. 

It may be possible for each SettingsPage to use an error indicator on a Field that has a wrong value... but that would require each settingsPage to code the respective UI work, rather than just returning a common error text similar to existing Eclipse Wizard framework.
