Error description

  • The tooltips for the plug-in runtime location made it sound like
    it wanted the web server (IHS) install location instead of the
    plugins install location and the Name field seems to be an
    irrelevant label.
    
    Steps to recreate:
    1. Open WebSphere Customization Toolbox (WCT)
    2. Start the Web Server Plug-in Configuration Tool (PCT)
    3. Click the Add button
    4. A pop-up dialog for "Add Web Server Plug-in Location"
    appears.
    5. Hover over each of the input fields to reveal the tooltip
    text.
