Max Rydahl Andersen updated JBIDE-16617:
----------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 4.2.0.Beta2
                       (was: 4.2.0.Beta1)
         Priority: Critical  (was: Major)


This is not blocking beta1 (unless [~gercan] think he can fix this before friday).

But I'm raising the priority on this issue since using this wizard the first time not only breaks the UI guidelines of not showing errors first, but it also pops up a dialog stating "Android Location not defined".

That is just not a pleasant nor expected workflow, especially if what I'm doing is trying to just do an ios app.

What would be expected is that if the user need to do something before this wizard to run is that it would provide a warning/info on a UI element stating "No XYZ found. Use <link to preferences> to configure a XYZ" or similar.

> When you create a new hybrid mobile project (File -> New -> Hybrid Mobile...), on the first page of the dialog, you're shown an error at the top even though you haven't done anything yet.
> This is ugly and violates http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-UI-Guidelines/Contents.html#Wizards Guideline 5.3.

> Also, consider polishing the next page, too. 
> !hybrid-dialog-2.png!
> If I don't have an engine installed, I get the error Please select a Hybrid Mobile Engine. This is not very nice, but I'm not sure how to improve it - perhaps if there are no engines installed, have a different message? And if you have at least one engine, select the first one by default, so that we avoid unnecessary errors?
