I have a suggestion for the Error notification pop-up windows that
recommend checking your IDE settings. There should be a button that says
"Open IDE configuration window" or "Take me there".
I clicked on the "What's New" link in the "Welcome" tab that Netbeans
shows on startup. I then received the pop-up window with the message:
Cannot execute mozilla. Check that a valid external browser property
is set. From the Tools menu,
choose Options. Click Advanced Options button, expand IDE
Configuration/Server and External Tool
Settings node, then expand Web Browsers and choose valid browser.
[OK]
Since this is a blocking dialog, I have to dismiss it before I'm allowed
to do what it says. This is too much to remember easily and the text is
not selectable in my gnome/linux interface, so I made a screen snapshot.
Would it be hard to have an additional button that opens the correct
configuration window for the user? For example, "[Open the Options
window for me]"
