Description Simon Arsenault CLA 2001-10-10 22:37:48 EDT 
I added a plugin.xml file to a folder. I then double clicked on it to edit it.
	The default editor is "Plug-in Manifest Editor" (from PDE?). However,
	I get the error message "Platform path not set in Preferences".

	The message should contain more information. For one, it should
	say which page in the preferences I need to go to. It could also
	mention what editor/plugin this came from so I have more context
	(if this is the PDE editor then it could mention that).

	Also, looking at the PDE preference pages, I could not see any
	field label "Platform path". Is this to mean the "Platform Home"?
	Or "Workspace Location"? As you can tell, a user would be completely
	lost at what to do.
