Description Ondrej Langr 2010-08-25 15:32:38 UTC 
Maven usability study (finding #27):

Glassfish server output window gives no clear indication when deploy has failed, whether the server is running or not. The error is somewhere in the middle of the output, user has to manually scroll up to find out whether deploy has failed and why.

Recommendation: 
Error should be in the bottom of the output window, in red color.  

Highlight video from the study illustrating the problem available on e-mail request.

requested video

The BUILD failed.  The IDE has not even attempted to deploy the broken app onto GlassFish, so it makes sense that the GF plugin has not indicated that there is an error... no?

The window the user is looking at is the output from maven...

At 2:51, the user discovers a BUILD ERROR... Failed to resolve artifact message.

Was already filed & fixed.
