not sure I like the new 'click on the red stack trace message to show the console' logic

[jstrachan]

when trying to use hawtio and something goes wrong you get tons of big red warnings; as a user you just wanna get rid of them; but then clicking on them keeps it there, then shows more logs (the console ;).

can we bring back the easy ability to close the big red warning stuff; and make it a little harder to show more console stuff by default?

Yeah, we can turn that off, though maybe it's worth investigating what the warning is and how we're displaying it? Was kinda thinking generally we could typically log a terse statement at error and then log the full stack trace (if there's one associated) at info/debug so that first off the error/warning popup isn't so large and secondly the user can look in the log for more info and copy/paste it easily into a gist.

so it seems quite easy to get lots of errors - all of the place - when using fabric ;) I can imagine folks get this when things stop/die/restart too; so wanting to close a big red flashing warning is probably the default requirement; rather than keeping it open and opening another log too for good measure.

Maybe we just need big, clear X button on the notifications?

[gashcrumb]

Yeah, think at least an x button on all of the notifications would be a good idea...

We're getting more errors these days? :-/

the errors are more fabric issues than hawtio mind you (and I've just made hawtio deal with the lack of mbeans that were causing all the exceptions in the dozer plugin;)
