Cau. Many of you expressed your low satisfaction with the way how UI Gestures Collector handles data submit after appearance of an exception. I do agree with you. We have to solve http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92075 I propose to do it like this: http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/logger/uihandler/src/org/netbeans/modules/uihandler/api/doc-files/ui.html?r1=1.4&r2=1.4.2.1 e.g. keep to old dialog and just add to it the "Report..." button. I hope this is "compatible" change that will surprise nobody and give users an easy to use reporting style. Let me know what you think, I plan to integrate the solution we agree to for M7. -jst PS: There was a suggestion to add a "Do not report again" button to the "Unexpected Exception Dialog" which could than stay on even in releases. I disagree. In my opinion until we are in production we need to shout about each error as much as we can, but when we get into a production, we need to be as quite about each error as possible. That is why I like current state. For background see: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/wcook/Drafts/2006/RinardOOPSLA06.pdf and after reading it the conclusion at the last slide.
