[ptp-dev] Service Configuration preference page questions

I have an initial version of the Service Configuration preference page 
working and have some questions

When I create a new service configuration, I'm calling 
ServiceModelManager.getInstance().newServiceConfiguration("name") then 
creating a new ServiceConfigurationWizard obejct using that service 
configuration. This requires me to code the name of the service 
configuration in the call to newServiceConfiguration(), and no way to 
change that name.

If I cancel the WizardDialog, the service configuration is still in the 
list of service configurations since newServiceConfiguration() ceates the 
service configuration and adds it to the list. I think this should be two 
steps, with a method to create the service configuration and then a second 
call to add it to the list. I think the wizard needs somewhere to specify 
the name as well.

I have a couple places in my preference page where I need to get a service 
configuration by name, to edit or remove a service configuration. I call 
ServiceModelManager.getConfigurations() and iterate over the set until I 
find what I want. Is it reasonable to add this method to 
ServiceModelManager and return null if no match?

I don't fully understand how a service configuration gets added to the 
list of service configurations for a project. Are add and delete buttons 
required on the properties page, or is there another path intended to do 
this? If I need an add buttton, then I think I need to craete a  popup 
dialog from the properties page, displaying a list of service 
configurations to select from, where that list should exclude the ones 
already used by the project. The other way would be two service 
configuration lists in the properties page with '-->' and '<--' buttons 
between them to move them from the complete list to the project's list, 
but I think that's not the right way to do it.
