Description carentrica 2008-06-02 08:48:18 UTC 
Currently, to close the About box in the Desktop Application projects, the supplied source within the closeAboutBox() 
method merely hides the dialog. Each time the About menu item is clicked a new dialog is created.

Would "dispose();", therefore, be a more appropriate close operation for the About dialog rather than "setVisible
(false);"?
Comment 1 Jan Stola 2008-06-02 12:44:43 UTC 
Yes, you are right. I will modify the template to contain dispose() instead of setVisible(false).
Comment 2 Jan Stola 2008-06-02 12:55:50 UTC 
Fixed - I have modified the templates.
