Please review the fix at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8063087/webrev.00/
which is simply void displayErrorDialog(Window w, Throwable t) { if (t instanceof NoDisplayException) { return; } + if (t.getClass() == Exception.class) { + displayErrorDialog(w, t.getLocalizedMessage()); + } else { displayErrorDialog(w, t.toString()); + } } Error messages like "java.lang.Exception:No Policy Entry selected" is now "No Policy Entry selected". For other exception types, there will be no change. Thanks Max
