     The run configuration factory is used for restoring run configurations from
     settings and for creating new run configurations in the \gui {Run Settings}
     dialog.
-    To restore run configurations, use the
-    \c {bool canRestore(Target *parent, const QString &id)}
-    and \c {RunConfiguration* create(Target *parent, const QString &id)}
-    functions.
 
-    To generate a list of creatable run configurations, use the
-    \c {QStringList availableCreationIds(Target *parent)} and
-    \c {QString displayNameForType(const QString&)} functions. To create a
-    run configuration, use \c create().
