| <api name="ErrorNotification" category="private" group="property" type="export"> |
| <p> |
| Enabling assertions (either global -ea or for class org.netbeans.core.NotifyException only) |
| changes the default error notification behavior. When assertions are enabled |

| icon start flashing in the main status bar and clicking the icon then brings |
| up the error dialog. |

| at the rightmost part of the main status bar when an |
| exception occurs</li> |
| <li>The icon is flashing for 5 seconds, then it stays |
| visible for another 30 seconds. Positioning the mouse pointer |
| over the icon changes the default mouse cursor to 'hand' |
| and stops the flashing. Icon's tooltip provides the exception |
| message or the exception class name when no message is available. |
| Single-clicking the icon brings up the exception dialog and |
| the icon disappers. The exception dialog shows all exceptions |
| encountered since the icon started flashing. When the exception |
| dialog is closed via the Ok button, the exception list is cleared. |
| </li> |
| <li>The exception dialog window 'remembers' (per IDE session) the |
| status of the 'Show Details' flag. So when the dialog is |
| displayed again, the last user's settings are reused. |

| <li>When another exception is encountered while the icon is |
| already flashing or visible, the flashing timer and the hide |
| icon timer will restart. </li> |
| <li>When another exception is encountered while the exception |
| dialog is visible, the exception message is displayed in |
| the current dialog and the icon does not appear.</li> |
| <li>There's no tooltip nor any indication on status bar when the |
| icon is not visible. Only a part of status bar area is reserved |
| for the icon.</li> |
