Re: How to override the Netbeans Platform (x) button or the netbeans platform default close operation

Hi Jason,

I use the closing() method in a ModuleInstall and have not had any
problems.  In my closing() method, I run some utility code to show
dialogs to confirm saving of files by the user.  The utility code
returns a boolean to signal whether exit should occur and that gets
returned from the closing() method.

However, I do wonder, are you by chance on OSX and using a custom look
and feel, or installing your own event handlers for things like
"About" or "Quit"?  I seem to remember some experiences on OSX where
using the default look and feel for NB RCP would have all OSX event
handlers installed correctly, but any customization might undo what
the RCP gives.  (I could well be remembering this incorrectly
though...)

Perhaps it would help if you mentioned what OS you are seeing this on,
and what version of NetBeans Platform you are using?
