Description ddv36a78 2009-02-09 20:20:32 UTC
During the first steps of a remote profiling phase, NetBeans says "Connecting to the target VM".

I have lost few *hours* today, while not understanding why I could not connect to a target VM, and finally, I have
discovered NetBeans was going through the proxy to reach the target machine. I was not expecting NetBeans to go through
the proxy (to be clearer, I have forgotten the proxy effect). I may not go through that pb if the msg NetBeans provides
could be clearer.

I would like a msg like the following : 
"Connecting to the target VM of some-machine-name:port (through proxy)".
or
"Connecting to the target VM of some-machine-name:port (no proxy used)".

PS : this enhancement is currently classified P3, but I think it's "easy" to do and could provide a much more better
user experience. It is part of little details that, with other numerous details, make a great IDE.
It would be great if issuezilla could provide other classifications like "estimated difficulty" and "estimed user
experience improvement". With P1 issues, issues with lower priority (P2 or P3), but with lower "estimated difficulty"
and great "estimed user experience improvement" could be also good candidates to greatly improve NetBeans
