The dialog that appears when user starts a server (which seems to be a generic dialog, perhaps used in other places) Title of dialog should be static and decriptive of what progress it is tracking, not dynamic. Recommendation: "Starting Application Server" See guidelines on naming secondary dialogs: http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/ed2/book/HIG.Windows5.html#1003746 The dynamic portion should be placed in the portion above the progress bar. (e.g. Completed, Failed, Installing..) Buttons should only appear if they are supported by whatever launches the dialog. Tooltip that states "Disabled if <action> command is not supported by the app server" should be removed. Button labels should simply be "Stop" and "Cancel" instead of "Stop "<action name>"". Stop will stop the action in its tracks with no clean up. Cancel will undo what has been done as if the action was never taken. Standard JLF Progress bar should be used.
Fixed by create a separate progress monitor for managing server status. This is brought up by Server Status action, replacing Start/Stop Server actions (part of another issue (37730).
