Description Dani Megert CLA 2001-10-10 22:43:49 EDT 
The class org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.ErrorDialog is used to display errors
	contained in an IStatus. The problem with the dialog is that it shows an
	error icon (red/cross) even though IStatus only has warnings or infos.

	The dialog would be more usable if the icon would correspond to the severity
	of IStatus and/or the dialog would offer to specify the image type (error, warning, info).

Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-26 11:38:15 EDT 
MessageDialog should add static API to take a status and open an Error Dialog 
if it is an error status.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-10-23 11:11:02 EDT 
Went with the originalk idea - the ErrorDialog now shows Warning and Info 
icons based on the severity of the status. Redesigning the MessageDialog to 
handle status etc. did not make sense to do and may have broken users of it.
