----------------------------------------------
Hi BJ, Thanks for your comments. Not sure why you got the compilation error.
However just wanted to explain more on this fix. The idea about this fix was to
segregate "Download and Install" from "Specify An Existing Application Server
Installation Directory" text box. That is why there are two DirectoryDialog
1) For an existing geronimo installation.
2) For a new installation directory.
"1) type in C:\f\geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.1.1 in the entry field and click
"download and install" since it looks enabled (nothing happens)". failed
because you need to give a valid directory.
However I guess this patch may still confuse users. I will go ahead and modify
the patch and upload an updated one soon.
> "Download and Install" button should be disabled/enabled appropriately

> After selecting which server I want to use, the "Application Server
> Installation Directory" field is blank and the "Download and Install" button
> is enabled. Hitting this button does nothing -1) it should be disabled on
> the page when the page is first shown.
> If I enter a directory that does not exist, a message shows at the top of the
> dialog saying "The specified directory does not exist". 2) the button should
> be disabled when that message appears and enabled when one of the "download
> allowable" messages appears (there seem to be several).
> 3) Also, in stead of disabling for 2), it would be slightly more usable to
> allow the user to click the "Download and Install" button and then ask the
> user if they wanted to create that directory.
