Perhaps there is a marketneering reason for this, but the first time you launch Marketplace you get a dialog asking you to select a solutions catalog.. It would be much better I think to make the Marketplace the default and allow users to select other options:

1. Significantly reduce user steps == key goal for whole effort.
2. Avoid use confusion. "I just selected MarketPlace, why do I need to pick it again?"
3. Promote the Eclipse Marketplace. :D

Changing this to FIXED. The Eclipse Marketplace is currently the default catalog.
