refer the attached image file. If the error messages is more than that can be
accomodated in the dialog box it doesn't show it well. 

One alternative could be, show only one message at a time, as it gets corrected
pop the next one out. While the user is doing something wrong, just show the
latest error he did. instead of adding them up as a list that is not displayed
completely.

Comment 2 Nikita Krjukov 2006-08-28 10:55:34 UTC 
Actually the possibility of showing multiple messages is a feature. 
And if we abandon it then it doesn't prevent the issue because of the text can 
be long in other cases. I assume that we have to have a uniformed solution for 
all dialogs. 

I can suggest another alternatives:

- Show the error message in a scroll panel. A scroll bar (only vertical) can be 
shown only if necessary. 

- User can expand dialog to be able to read the message totally. 
Dialogs are resizable. Maybe it would be better to save size (location) of 
dialogs but I don't know if there is such possibility in the NetBeans now.

Already fixed by supernik in DefaultValidStateManager.java (1.1.2.9) on
7-Sept-06 to restrict showing to first error message.  Please see attached
screenshot of how it is now.
