Description Jaroslav Tulach 2006-05-03 13:14:17 UTC 
Imagine there is a module that does not run on 1.4 JDK. If there is a lot of 
other modules that do depend on it, the actual problem, can easily be lost in 
the amount of warnings that is shown to user.

I suggest to show just the root cause, plus number of other problems caused by 
these root causes.

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2006-05-03 17:10:23 UTC 
Sounds good. Does it also handle the case that there is >1 independent root cause?
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2006-05-04 05:45:51 UTC 
Yes. It does work, but I've added a test.
Comment 4 Tomas Danek 2006-05-12 12:12:50 UTC 
fix seems to be ok, i put "OpenIDE-Module-Java-Dependencies: Java > 1.6" to ~10
basic modules, and tried to run on 1.5 -> all of them were listed in dialog.
From this point of view - it's ok. Verified in trunk.
