Description Rafael Chaves CLA 2005-06-30 10:34:05 EDT
3.1

The product configuration wizard opens a product configuration editor. On this
editor's "Overview" page, trying to use it to configure a new product can
produce incomplete markup in the coresponding extension.

Steps:
1 - on the "New Product configuration wizard", choose "Create a configuration
file with basic settings" and create a new product configuration
2 - on the editor that opens, press "New..." to create a new product extension
3 - the dialog that opens takes a product id (namespace + simple id) and a
product application id, but not the product name. Pressing "Finish" will create
a product extension that lacks the "name" attribute, causing an error mark on
the corresponding plugin.xml.

Note that if on the "Overview" page, the product name field is filled in before
"New..." (product id) is pressed, the extension is generated correctly. But this
is completely not intuitive, since the name field appears at the bottom of the form.

The user can fix this by opening the Plug-in Manifest editor and editing the
extension. 

As a side note, I would have expected that changes to the form after the
extension was created would be reflected in the plug-in manifest, but this does
not happen. Maybe this deserves a separate PR.
