Hi all,

In our product, we have a strange behavior on MacOSX: when giving focus to one of our editors view (precisely a GMF editor), then we here a "bong", a kind of system bell.
From here, I have 2 questions, and I'd appreciate any help for any of these questions since I did not find any help by googling:
* What could explain this "bong" ?
* Is there a way to deactivate the system bell in our application (by setting a system property or a preference for example) ?

Thanks in advance

Your GMF editor is calling Display.beep();

You can reduce the Alert volume to zero in the System Preferences.
(affects all apps)

I put a breakpoint on this method and could understand where the problem is in our code.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot Prakash, we could avoid this beep by investigating around the Display.beep() method.
I opened a bug report about this annoying behaviour: http://bugs.eclipse.org/300486
