[oXygen-user] Non-checked exception in a plugin: silently ignored

[Radu Coravu]

Hi Florent,

Thanks for the suggestion, I added it as an improvement request.
By the way, if you are also using Apache Log4j and use the 
"logger.fatal" to log problems a special Errors dialog will pop-up to 
present them.
So you can create your own AbstractAction wrapper which catches all 
Throwables and uses "logger.fatal" to report them.


Regards,
Radu
