If the OS provides a notification mechanism, that is where notifications are expected and where notifications should go. However, this is really something that should be solved in the JDK desktop module, like the system tray… e.g. this: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/awt/TrayIcon.html#displayMessage-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-java.awt.TrayIcon.MessageType- Though if other non-system-tray notifications should be used, then it is still something that should be addressed by the desktop module and then used by NetBeans. I suggest the efforts go towards generic notification support in OpenJDK and then come back to utilize it in NetBeans. ;-) Cheers, Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
