Start IDE. Execute a web module (from the web-inf node). Try to shut down the IDE through File->Exit. The dialog "Waiting for Tasks to Finish" comes up with "Please wait while IDE finishes some tasks:" with the server process listed. This dialog seems to remain up indefinitely when server is still up. Not clear if this dialog is actually doing anything since it can stay up until user pushes "End Tasks". The dialog should provide some activity monitor to user to let them know some action is happening and it should really try to end those processes (e.g. shut down the server) Note: This was pointed out by an internal user as well.
Pls, look on it, maybe a problem with finishing a task to web module. If it's a defect with a dialog framework then reassign back. Thanks
I'd say that this dialog is confusing. If I understand it correctly its purpose is to warn user that there are some executed processes ans ask if they ought to be stopped or the Exit actions should be canceled. If this is the case then the wording here is not good. I miss possibility to leave executed proces untouched and exit the IDE that has good sense if the process is for instance Tomcat server or app server. It means that the dialog should be more similar to 'save on exit' circumstance - save & exit/discard changes & exit/cancel action. Option matching to discard (leave the proces(ses) running and exit is missing.
Jiri R - Are there other examples of processes that might cause this dialog to show? and are those tasks ended by the IDE (that is, user doesn't have to do press anything)? Please contact HIE if wording or functionality (e.g. adding buttons) is going to be the proposed fix. I can could help or would find someone appropriate. Thanks!
Assign to UI to define solution.
re-evaluate please ...
Okay, so apparently the IDE is not actively terminating the running processes. I suggest to do a simple wording change: * Change title to "Exit IDE". * Change label to "Exiting the IDE will terminate the following processes:" and still show the list of processes as we do it now. * Change the "End Tasks" button to "Exit IDE" and make it the default button. * Change the preferred size to 360x240. * Only 2px spacing between the label and the list.
I never met such dialog, does anybody know where the code is?
See core/execution/src/org/netbeans/core/execution/Install.java
Thx.
fixed in main trunk. Size of the dialog is relative and thus approximate (+- several pixels) to handle nonstandard font sizes well. /cvs/core/execution/src/org/netbeans/core/execution/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.10; previous revision: 1.9 /cvs/core/execution/src/org/netbeans/core/execution/Install.java,v <-- Install.java new revision: 1.18; previous revision: 1.17
