<li>The enabled state of each URL scheme is not persisted in the Eclipse preference store, but it is directly registered in the operating system. Therefore, this page does not take part in the export and import of preferences and does not provide a "Restore Defaults" button.</li>
<li>For the "macOS" and "Linux" operating system: If an URL scheme is handled by another application (Eclipse-based or not), it <strong>cannot</strong> be enabled directly. Handling of this URL scheme must first be disabled in the other application, before it can be enabled in the current application.</li>
<li>When multiple Eclipse-based applications are running at the same time, the operating system may set a window to the foreground, which cannot handle the link. In such cases, ensure that only the expected Eclipse-based application is running.</li>
+ <li>In rare cases (e.g. PDE development) the path to the eclipse launcher can not be determined from the <code>eclipse.launcher</code> or <code>eclipse.home.location</code> system properties. The preference page will then show an error message and will not allow any interaction.</li>
