[pde-dev] Problem adding additional locations to target platform Plug-ins list

I am having difficulty adding additional directories to the PDE Target
platform when using
the full Gannymede JEE build that do not occur when using the basic 3.4.1
platform only.

Using the Add... button in the Gannymede version (Plug-in Development,
Target Platform, Plug-ins tab) skips the dialog allowing the user to choose
update site/file location jumping straight to the 'File System Provisioner'.
Adding directories using this dialog has no effect on the locations in the
main wizard panel and does not change the content of the preferences file.

The only way I seem to be able to add entries is to locate and edit the
org.eclipse.pde.core.prefs file and manually add an 
	additional_locations=...

entry. At which point the directory and contained plugins show up on
restart.

I can't find anything in bugzilla regarding this problem.

Should I raise an issue?

PS neither environment appear to provide a mechanism to remove the
directories once added but I assume this is by design?
