Confusing New->Connection dialog that tells v3 and Enterprise users to create an Online account

      1. EXEC: From the OpenShift view: Select New->Connection
      2. EXEC: Observe message at top of dialog that says: "If you do not have an account on OpenShift, please sign up"

      Result:
      You are taken to OpenShift online which is a v2 server even if you choose a v3 server type

      The Eclipse tooling is intended to be used with V2 Online (for now) and V3 when it is available. Also it is intended to be used with on-premise Enterprise instances, which do not require an Online account. This instruction may be confusing to these customers.

      Along these lines, the V3 Server is prefilled with the URL for the online service which may not work for some time. I propose selecting a different default value for V3

      An alternative could be that after they enter the URL they could attempt to "valid it" or "open in browser".
