Description zikmund 2004-06-30 15:23:11 UTC 
Build 200406291800

The description of Tag File wizard on the 1st page
("Choose File Type") should be:
"Tag files authors don't require to know Java."

(word "authors" is missing now)
Comment 1 Milan Kuchtiak 2004-07-02 10:27:04 UTC 
Fixed
Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2004-07-02 10:53:10 UTC 
I would prefer an even different wording:

"Tag file authors are not required to know Java."

Note that in help messages in the IDE, abbreviated forms such as
"don't" are not used. Use "do not" instead. 

Is that right, Geertjan? Any comments?
Comment 3 Milan Kuchtiak 2004-07-02 11:19:46 UTC 
Thanks, text was changed.
Comment 4 Geertjan Wielenga 2004-07-02 13:41:01 UTC 
Not using contractions is part of the Sun editorial styleguide. Petr's
suggested "Tag file authors are not required to know Java." is great.

Verified.
