Description mehiel 2013-11-30 13:32:28 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 7.4 (Build 201310111528)
Operating System = Linux version 3.11-1-amd64 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_25
Runtime = OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 23.7-b01

It is very annoying having all those alert boxes shown up when an issue repository (ex. Jira) is not reachable over the network for any reason (could be down for maintainance, could be because of development out of its internal network for a while etc.) every X minutes the IDE refreshes the tasks. To reproduce just connect to an issue repository and then in any way it is more convenient to you loose connectivity with this repo.

We can avoid this situation by using the (great) Notifications window to show errors like that, can't we?
