Class ErrorDialog

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.io.Serializable, javax.accessibility.Accessible, javax.swing.RootPaneContainer, javax.swing.WindowConstants

    public class ErrorDialog
    extends javax.swing.JDialog
    Utility class for displaying an error dialogue to the user. Calling the static showError method pops up a modal dialogue which informs the user what went wrong. As initially displayed this just contains the message or name of the exception plus optionally some additional lines of text, but a button is provided which can display the full stack trace.
