Issue has been transferred from BugTraq: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4788331.html ---------------------------------------------- Description: When the IDE is up full screen, the user sees multiple locations for status information: 1. there's an output window for server logs and compiler output 2. there's also a place at the top of the screen for status messages. It's optically confusing to the user to scan both places; you're not sure when you should be looking at each location. Comments: it would be helpful if the status messages were logged somewhere so that the user could go back and review them, in case they weren't looking when the message flashed by! A comment.
It is more design issue. Could be handled in new winsys design.
re-evaluate please ...
This is an enhancement.
Please reopen if still valid, thanks.
