[pde-ui-dev] Q on [type here text] for feature.xml

[Pat McCarthy <patmc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A new feature fills in the information
page with [text markers] for feature description, copyright, and license.

If you do nothing (or at least not much
more than type "none" in the license to pass update manager tests)
the feature is not quite broken, but it leads to errors.

The URL text is there, the Configuration
Dialog shows a link, and the link fails as it does not have a URL Handler.

Is this really what you want when the
feature is defined with the least amount of text possible?

Course the error log is even more confusing
- I don't see the relationship between the eclipse.gif and the description
link.
