[dsdp-tm-dev] Re: RSE API Javadoc Questions

I'm not a big fan of the indicator in SystemMessage, but there are cases
where it is useful. As such, I think its best to keep IndicatorException as
official API. I don't see a problem with it being a RuntimeException. In
most cases where our products dynamically construct system messages we know
the indicator will be correct.

SystemMessageDialog should be marked @noextend. We can change it later
without breaking API, but cannot do the reverse. However, I doubt that
anyone would need to extend it.

Hi Dave's,

It just occurred to me that IndicatorException is deprecated,
but used inside SystemMessageDialog. Is it OK to have it
deprecated or do we want to keep it official API? - I did that in
   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=216252#c30
based on
   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=216252#c21

Also, I added Javadoc @noextend to SystemMessageDialog.
Please Review. Is this indeed what we want?

Thanks,
