Description
It would be nice to display error message when JBoss Tools is used with Java v.5 not just in Error Log but also to dialog window with check box "Do not show this error again". It's more informative for user to see the reason why Visual part of VPE editor or anything else is not shown.

"Eclipse handling" by default is that plugins won't be loaded on the unsatisfied environment. Very likely there will be errors in the error log. But user will have no idea about what is going on.

added a comment - "Eclipse handling" by default is that plugins won't be loaded on the unsatisfied environment. Very likely there will be errors in the error log. But user will have no idea about what is going on. So my suggestions:
1) So as Denis said "Why wouldn't we just mark all our bundles as required JavaSE-1.6".
2) Display warning messages during installation and startup.
3) Won't start JBDS on the wrong JDK.

Only warnings should be added, because other points have no benefits to the user.

Found three solutions, but none of them is satisfying (solution - drawbacks):
- Create the dialog in commons - commons are already 1.6, not all plugins are dependent on them.
- Create the dialog in usage - not its job.
- Create the dialog in a new plugin - too much for one message.

This is not only a VPE issue. A lot of JBoss Tools plugins require Java 6 too. A better way to make the user aware of it is to show this dialog not only when VPE starts, but when any JBoss Tools plugin starts.
The message might be like this:
You use Java 5, but Java 6 is required by JBoss Tools. Some plugins may be disabled.
