This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The progress indicator that is displayed when starting Tomcat (when executing a web application, for example) is using a modal window, so the IDE is blocked during this time. I should be able to continue to work with the IDE while Tomcat is launched.
An option will be provided to create the Progress Dialog non-modal so that the users may continue to use the IDE while the progress bar advances. It will be up to the developer who uses this object to determine if the dialog should be modal or not.
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
I made a change to the ProgressObject such that it can be created non-modal. By default though, the ProgressObject is modal. So, an engineer on the web team should modify their use of the ProgressObject and pass in "false" when it is created to indicate non-modal.
