Description C. Lamont Gilbert CLA 2007-06-08 15:43:23 EDT 
There is no way to set the singleton property on a plugin through the UI.  This property is required and without it being there its not obvious that the behavior is available.  it would be helpful if it were there then more people would ask what it is for and find out ahead of time how to avoid certain dependency issues.

A checkbox in the Overview section of the manifest editor that toggles the singleton directive in the Bundle-SymbolicName would be nice.
