Description Mark McLaren CLA 2005-11-29 14:36:09 EST 
When some applications 'crash', you get a dialog asking the user if they want to 'submit a report' of the error over the internet.  The RCP exception handler should also do this - the easiest way would be to write the report to an HTML file and open it in a browser.   The HTML file would contain a pre-populated 'form' which could be submitted like any other HTML form.

It would be nice if this feature came with a simple servlet which accepted the form request, dumped the response to the log file and responded with, "Thank you for submitting your error".

MvM, is this something we want to provide?
Comment 2 Michael Van Meekeren CLA 2005-12-01 10:03:22 EST 
Seems like a neat idea.  Mark, anytime to submit a patch for this?
Comment 3 Mark McLaren CLA 2005-12-03 11:42:09 EST 
No time right now, but perhaps sometime next year....
Comment 4 Krzysztof Daniel CLA 2008-02-15 04:46:21 EST 
There is bug 124964 which seems to cover functionality of this issue.

After fixing bug 191684 it should be very easy to provide reporter by anyone.

The error dialog and all its features has been being discussed in bug 124964.
