Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20080721233246) Java: 1.6.0_06; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b22 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; MS932; ja_JP (nb) I'm running in Japanese locale, using a pseudo localized Netbeans with font size 16 option. 1. Open New Java App wizard 2. Accept default settings and press Finish button The wizard doesn't resize properly to show its progress bar message. J2ee and Web projects look ok. 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.

J2SEProject just provides the right panel and string, it doesn't control the left panel.
Doesn't seem to be P2.
I set p2 in accordance with Bug Priority Guidelines for i18n: http://wiki.netbeans.org/BugPriorityGuidelines#section-BugPriorityGuidelines-P2
I'll look on it and probably using multi line labels with such cases.
There is not straightforward way to fix it. The wizard has almost fixed dimension of left panel in New Project Wizard but Progress API provides JLabel for clients message. I wonder we would like to change the layout of wizards for this as well as Progress API won't return multiline JLabel. However, I don't think it's worth fixing this. The problem is with a information message temporary displayed while wizard finishing and IDE users get feedback about progress of creating new project anyway. IMHO decrease to lower priority.
Added a tooltip on progress message to see whole message if message label is cut. Changeset: 63af603b1dcb IMHO it fixing the matter of problem.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200809120201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/63af603b1dcb User: Jiri Rechtacek <jrechtacek@netbeans.org> Log: #141565: show tooltip on progress message
I tried to verify using build 0916. Can you help me to make the tooltip visible? I created more then 5 Java Applications but I can't see the tooltip using mouse click/hover action around the progress bar.
