Description iformanek 2002-05-31 09:43:25 UTC 
The
- Show JavaDoc
- Goto Source
- Goto Declaration

actions provide very different type of feedback when they 
cannot be completed (e.g JavaDoc or sources not mounted)

- Show JavaDoc: Prints mesage into editor's status bar
- Goto Source: Shows Infromation message box
- Goto Declaration: Does nothing


Suggest to pick one approach and unify the error feedback 
for those.

Gabo, where the error feedback should appear?
Comment 4 Gabriel Tichy 2003-04-04 14:02:56 UTC 
I suggest to use editor status bar for all these actions, 
and for "Go to Class" action as well.
Comment 5 Dusan Balek 2003-12-04 09:22:28 UTC 
Fixed in [maintrunk] with the exception of "Go To Class" action.
Editor status bar cannot be used to display "Go To Class" action's
error feedback since this action can be invoked without any editor opened.
