Description kaa 2008-03-06 15:18:10 UTC
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.1 Beta (Build 200803041230)
Java: 1.6.0_03; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_03-b05
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; MS932; ja_JP

Steps:
Open using main menu: Tools -> Libraries dialog
The dialog does not resize to show labels of its tab panes

Assumption is that user does not need to manually resize most windows or dialogs to see all of the UI objects and
information in them. I'm running in pseudo localized locale in which each message/label is sometimes longer than in
English. To account for that in some locales, translations from English (and some other euro languages) could be shown
with longer strings.

Also I'm running at font size 16, which is viewed as a valid font size that might be used. Resizing issues are not just
related to i18n; they might show to user in English locale if they run at larger font size.

Often, these issues happen because the length of some label or message or size of entire window is hardcoded vs using
layout managers or other techniques or api to have the windows or the objects in them, dynamically resize. Sometimes,
embedding components in a scroll pane will solve the problem.

I tried it and I don't see it such critical. User can easily resize the dialog. If you have a real-life example
(translated dialog), which doesn't look nice, we can think of increasing default width. Otherwise I am closing this
issue as worksforme.
