Description mvinar 2003-08-21 10:42:36 UTC 
User problem:
-----------------------------------
The "Mount" and "Capabilities" concepts are hard
to understand. It cannot be expected that the user
understands that "Add Debugging Sources"="Mount
directory, set capabilities to: Use in
debugger=Yes, Use in compilation=No, Use in
documentation=No, Use in execution=No."

User need:
-----------------------------------
The user needs to perform tasks like "Add
Documentation", "Add Library Sources for
Debugging", "Add Sources Directory", "Add
Library", and expects the IDE to understand what
it means.

Product requirement:
-----------------------------------
Remove the "Mount" concept and replace with typed
actions reflecting user tasks (such as "Add Library")
