There used to be Update Icon in status bar indicating availability of updates. In the status line, two different update icons appeared: 1/ICON1 in case the IDE cannot connect to the update centers (caused by no internet connection or by proxy misconfiguration). Clicking this icon invoked a modal dialog in which the user configured the proxy. 2/ICON2 appeared in case of available updates for already installed plug-ins. This icon stayed visible unless user clicks it or invoke the Plug-In Center dialog via Tools menu. Please provide scenarios for this functionality and add it to UI-specification.
This must to be implemented => raising the priority to P1.
The requested information was incorporated into the UI Spec (http://xdesign-tools.czech.sun.com:8080/JSPWiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JH_AutoUpdate_UI_Spec#update_icon_scenario). A skeleton of the Enhanced Update Icon scenario was also added into the 'Future work' section of the UI Spec. Marking this issue as 'FIXED'.
