Mike,
thanks for the answer!

We will try to post bug reports, but there are a lot of small bugs that will take quite some time to
track down into code snippets. But one that is really simple is how JOptionPane has changed; the standard
information and question dialogs doesn't have useful icons anymore. For example (from SwingSet):


<joptionpane.png>

Not sure if this is a bug or a (strange) L&F design choice? Before starting to post bug reports,
it would be very useful with release notes, describing what changes that are intentional...
Also release notes describing what areas that are changed, would help us focus our testing.

If I'm not wrong, this is part of the standard Mac OS X UI rules: the icon there should be the icon of the application, not an icon related to the kind of message as in other platforms.

Fabrizio is right on the money here.

You will also notice that WARNING and ERROR JDialogs also have triangle and stop icons, but with the app's Dock icon superimposed on them now. We made these changes intentionally to more closely conform with the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines, however if you have a specific need for the original message bubble art, I can investigate what would be required to resurrect it from the system. Generally speaking though, I would really advocate against it - I can only think one very very obscure place in the OS where I have seen that icon, and I'm sure HI would consider it a bug.

Thanks much for your attention to detail, and I look forward to reading your bugs.
