Description jrojcek 2007-07-12 16:57:32 UTC

I'm not sure this issue belongs to project system. It probably spans more modules. Feel free to reassign.

Report from Winston:

---
I opened a NB 5.5.1 project in NB 6.0. There were a total of  9 dialogs popped up.

Resolve missing Data Source (1)
Install embedded component library ... (1)
build-impl.xml modified externally regenerate ..  (5)
Resolve Missing resources (2)

Some were blocking and popped one after the other (especially "build-impl.xml modified externally regenerate .." dialog)

It was a jumble of mess. Shouldn't we have some kind of functionality to consolidate these messages in to a single dialog
at project open some kind of informational dialog similar to Error Manager dialog with next, prev buttons etc?

See the attached screenshot. 

This problem is somewhat related to inconsistent handling of broken references plus showing unrelated dialogs at the same time (broken reference and 
build-imp modification warning).

I'm not sure about the solution now, but showing up the pop up dialogs when opening a project needs some rules. Solution is TBD.

I'm missing quite some information about the setup. What project type etc..
