Description David Simonek 2004-10-13 16:35:22 UTC

Idea is to not show exception dialog directly
anymore. Perhaps only in cases of InternalErrors
or other really fatal errors.
Instead, small "warning" icon should pop up in
global status line, possibly waving a bit to
attract attention. Click on warning icon will then
bring exception dialog in current form.

Pending:
- duration of warning icon, after how much time or
other constraint should icon vanish
- tooltip over warning icon
- for beta releases, current state is better

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2004-12-07 15:57:06 UTC

Current state: with -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=false, exception
messages simply printed in red in status line.
