Description pslechta 2008-06-19 15:57:00 UTC

Today, wizards support only red error messages and warning messages. According to document
http://wiki.netbeans.org/InformationIcons there is also need to support error messages in normal (usually black) color
with info icon (see document for details).
Please implement such support.
This support is required by Issue 137076.
Thanks!

I suppose file openide.dialogs\src\org\openide\WizardDescriptor.java needs to be changed, mainly inner class
WizardPanel, method setErrorMessage...

Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2008-06-20 10:50:13 UTC

A request for new feature, it will need a change in WizardDescriptor API. Please, describe your use-cases which requires
that feature. We'll consider adding this into NB6.5 M2 plan or in NB7.

Comment 3 pslechta 2008-06-20 11:04:57 UTC

The use-case is described in document http://wiki.netbeans.org/InformationIcons.
Issue 137076 is just first request to implement this use-case.
Ask Petr Blaha (reporter of the issue) for more details if required.
Thanks!

Attached files are intended for other issue, please ignore.

Comment 7 Milan Kubec 2008-06-30 13:57:01 UTC

Well, actually ... ignore my last comment - attached files contains impl. of the change - two new properties were introduced PROP_INFO_MESSAGE, PROP_WARNING_MESSAGE. java.project.diff contains usage of the API for New File Wizard. Please review the change. Thanks.

Comment 8 Jesse Glick 2008-07-02 15:43:04 UTC

Also need info icon for Module Project wizard.

The apichanges.xml entry does not seem to mention the topic of this issue, info icons! I guess this is getting confused
with issue #138128 (though the entry points to this IZ report).

Don't forget to update spec versions - both openide.dialogs/manifest.mf, and project.xml of calling modules.

Comment 9 Milan Kubec 2008-07-02 16:04:13 UTC

The icon is part of openide.dialogs module under org.netbeans.modules.dialogs - do you mean this?

I will provide better comment in apichanges.xml. I know about the confusion, even I'm a bit confused (see my previous comment), but I wanted to do both 
issue together in one API review, since they are very related.

I've updated spec ver. in openide.dialogs/manifest.mf to 7.8. Not those modules though.

Comment 10 Jesse Glick 2008-07-02 16:10:46 UTC

No no, I meant that as in issue #138003, we need the informational message to be shown in a New Project subwizard for
module projects, thus setting that as a dependency on this.

Comment 11 Milan Kubec 2008-07-07 09:10:46 UTC

Fixed.
