Project: Eclipse Release Train
Issue Type: Task
Components: Platform

Priority: Trivial
Labels: 4.6_M6, UI, bzira
Fix For: Oxygen.3 (4.7)
In Eclipse IDE, I see many message dialogs giving instruction about opening a wizard or
the preference page. Giving such instructions to user is nice, but in many cases, it would
be even better to allow user to perform such operations in one click. For example a
message dialog with "configure proxy" would have a link to immediately open the
proxy settings page.
Those message dialog should also allow selectionListeners for those links.
If MessageDialog provide links by default, it will encourage consumers to take advantage
of them, and to be more helpful to their users.
