> The launcher wizard that we implemented in 4.9.AM3 works but it lacks explanations that would help a novice user.
> Suggested improvements:
> * A novice user has no idea what a mission is all about. We should maybe add an explanatory label that tells the user what he's picking with a mission. And then we should explain what the mission that he has chose will provide.
> !mission-infos.png! 
> * A novice user has no idea what the maven artifact elements are for.
>  !maven-artifact-elements.png! 
> * Generally speaking it is preferable to decorate missing input fields with a "*" than to mark them as errors (as one can see in most web forms). OpenShift tooling does this as a rule of thumb. 
>  !error-markers-for-missing-info.png!
> * Location is not decorated with an "required value" (or error) marker
