Description changed by jbirch:

Old description:

> It would be useful if, when getting an !MgClassNotFoundException in reply
> to a !GetIdentityProperties call when saving a !DataConnection, Maestro
> could inform the user that it could not determine the identity property

> occurring because of a missing PK.

New description:

 When saving a SQL Server DataConnection, if one or more of the tables does
 not have a primary key set, Maestro presents a screen to the user with the
 text of an MgClassNotFoundException.  This isn't especially easy to figure
 out for end users.

 It would be useful if, when this occurs, Maestro could inform the user
 that it could not determine the identity property for X class.  A smart
 user should then be able to figure out from this that the error is
 occurring because of a missing PK.
