Description Eric Kieke CLA 2005-09-07 11:58:03 EDT 
During usability testing, users were unclear about which fields were required 
vs. optional.  According to our developers, there is nothing in the Eclipse 
framework for denoting required fields.  Forcing users to employ a "try it and 
see" approach does not make for a user-friendly UI.
