public class ErrorDialog
extends JDialog

Utility class for displaying an error dialogue to the user. Calling the static showError method pops up a modal dialogue which informs the user what went wrong. As initially displayed this just contains the message or name of the exception plus optionally some additional lines of text, but a button is provided which can display the full stack trace.
