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.

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.
