Using NB 031207 There are a number of issues with the progress dialog that comes up for the servers. - Title of dialog reflect the action being performed e.g. "Starting Server", "Stopping Server", "Running web module". It should not be dynamic such as "Running..." "Completed..." http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/ed2/book/HIG.Windows5.html#1003746 -The dynamic status - such as "Running", "Completed", "Failed" should appear within the dialog, perhaps above the progress bar where the other dynamic text appears. -Title of buttons should be "Stop" and "Cancel" only - not "Stop "<action name>"" and "Cancel "<action name>". The title should give the name of the action -Buttons that are disabled b/c the server does not support the action (Stop, Cancel) should simply not show, instead of providing a mouseover tooltip that says why it is disabled. (see attached progresstooltip.gif for current state) -If action fails, the "Cancel" button should change to "Close", because "Cancel" does not apply to cancelling the action the user started. -Progress bar itself should have follow the new winsys, i.e. the progress bar should take the same l&f that new winsys is using (windows, metal, gnome etc)
Created attachment 12491 [details] tooltip that shows when mousing over the disabled button
will try to fix for 3.6
Will not be solved for promoD. Maya is working on a UI spec for next promo.
Will not be solved for 4.1. The progress dialog will likely be removed in the next release after moving to ant based deployment.
Closing as fixed, the progress dialog has been replaced by the new progress api.
