ETE-85 - Cleanup build.properties
ETE-86 - The table column containing the URLs in the import wizard is too narrow

This plugin was tested on Eclipse 3.8.M5 and 4.2.M5

ETE-83 - The restore button in the preference page renders the whole contents foobar

Due to an Eclipse Marketplace Client weirdness, the features had to be changed again. This means that an update from 3.0.0 might fail :-(

ETE-78 - New Workspace Detection should be silent in case no URL is configured
ETE-79 - clean up wizard and handler code
ETE-80 - Is the PropertyTester still needed?
ETE-82 - The preference initializer should ignore empty URLs provided by EpfUrlProviders

This is a major release that breaks compatibility with previous releases. Any 2.x version must be uninstalled before this new 3.x release can be installed!

Defaults are now configured using the extension point ch.netcetera.eclipse.workspace.defaultConfiguration
- EpfUrl: used to configure a single static URL to an EPF file (1:1 replacement of what was previously configured in the properties file)
