Re: [ui-best-practices-working-group] Contradiction in 'field decoratiors and validations' document

I think the  Field Decorators and Validation is just wrong/outdated. The
Save As dialog in the Eclipse SDK is not like on the picture i.e. doesn't
decorate fields with errors or warnings.

Hi all,

The document Field Decorators and Validation describes the behavior of
errors by showing an error decorator next to the field:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Image:SaveAsError.gif

This is contradictory to the guidelines for validation of data:


 (…)If the first required field is empty, an informative prompt should be
shown in the text area, directing the user to fill in the field (…)
and also is not implemented in any wizard. So the question is what should
be the behavior for new wizards?
In my opinion we should ignore the decorators for errors in wizard to be
consistent with the current implementations and make a remark in the
document specifying that this behavior is not yet implemented to avoid
future confusion.

Best Regards,
Eitan
