Build 20050523

1. From the Product editor, click the "New..." button next to the "Product ID"
field.
2. Specify a defining Plugin, Product ID, and, application as requested and
click Finish.
3. The product extension that is generated has an error: "Attribute 'name' of
element 'product' must be defined."

The dialog should also prompt the user for the product name.

This is also a duplicate of this bug#99782 reported by Pascal.

I'm using 3.1 final and still have the same problem.

Thanks

Janek,

This one is causing unpleasantness for 3.1 users, so we have to address it 
with minimal disturbance for 3.1.1 (ie. no UI changes).  For 3.2, we will do 
it right.

For 3.1.1:
When the user presses Finish, prior to synchronizing, if the product does not 
have a name, generate a name for it.  This way we don't get the error on the 
plugin.xml

For 3.2:
If the product name is not specified in the editor, when the wizard comes up, 
the wizard should contain a field that invites the user to enter a name.  The 
name is mandatory.
It would also be good to move the product name field up to make it first on 
top of the overview page.
