Description Michael Illgner

When a validation range is defined on a org.eclipse.jface.preferenceIntegerFieldEditor and the users enters an integer not in the range, the message "Value must be an Integer" is displayed to the user,
which may be misleading. Better would be "Please enter an Integer between x and y"

Susan appears to have implemented this at some point.
