Description Jaromir Uhrik 2007-10-04 14:39:47 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200710040000) 
Java: 1.5.0_07; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_07-87 
System: Mac OS X version 10.4.10 running on i386; MacRoman; en_US (nb)

When installing plugin that requires another plugin(s) the meassage in the NetBeans IDE Installer tells:
"The following plugins also need to be installed because one or more plugins you are about to install depends on them."
1)This text is followed by the list of required plugins so that there should be ":" instead of "." before the list of
required plugins.
2)The text doesn't tell that required plugins were selected for the installation and the user may think that it is
necessary to cancel installer, select required plugins and proceed with installation.

My suggestion for rewording:

"The following plugins will also be installed because one or more of the plugins you want to install depends on them:"
Comment 3 Kenneth Ganfield 2007-10-05 10:09:43 UTC 
I updated bundle properties to the suggested text in trunk.
marking issue as fixed. 

If the new suggested text is not clear enough, please reopen the issue and we can discuss.
