1. Start IDE without registered GlassFish. 2. Rightclick "Java DB" node and choose "Properties". Result: "Java DB Properties" doesn't have any prompt message. 3. Enter wrong path for "Java DB installation path" field. Result: "Java DB Properties" has error message. 4. Remove everything from "Java DB installation path" field. Result: "Java DB Properties" has info message message.
Created attachment 74905 [details] Screenshot of no info message in "Java DB Properties" dialog.
Again I don't see a need to post an info message when the dialog opens. It's distracting
I think the presentation of the info message should be based on the state of the fields, not on wehther or not the user has first opened the dialog. So I think the info message should be there right from the start. (my 2 cents).
I think I have to agree with Rob, we should be consistent - if you can't press "OK" then we need to explain why using the standard NB UI model for this.
Thanks for your opinions I asked Mike for his opinion also
