Re: [platform-ui-dev] Errors in the UI after deinstalling components

Agree, I think if nothing else, some polish on this presentation would help. The message "Could not create view" is very vague - what can the user do with that information? If we can differentiate "The plugin providing this view is no longer installed" and provided a nicer message for that case I think it would help. This could also be more prescriptive, as the two choices at this point are to go install the plugin(s), or close the view.

Maybe we could simply make the ErrorPart more friendly, with a disappointed smiley and saying
"
Sorry, this view could not be loaded. Possible reasons may be:
* You uninstalled the plugin that was providing this view
* An inconsistency in your installation provided contributed plugin to load this view
* This view has a bug
In any case, if you don't need to use this view, you can simply close it and continue working normally.

Please click here to see technical details, and in case it doesn't help please seek assistance with the provider of this view.
