Kevin Menard commented on CAY-366:
----------------------------------
Re: #3) I mean a tear-away window. E.g., in IntelliJ all the windows at the
bottom of the main frame can be pulled off as their own separate windows. I
believe Eclipse does the same, although I haven't used it in a while.
Re: #4) I was thinking a break between DEBUG & INFO. Although, now that I look
at the output a bit more, I think part of the problem is that we're logging
items at the wrong log level. E.g., a failing to connect to a data source is
logged as INFO.
Re: #5) That sounds reasonable. Obviously we can't allow multiple instances of
the same dialog to appear. So, subsequent calls should bring the original
dialog to the front.
