Notification bubble-box pop-up on a new message

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Can you, please, add a support for a notification bubble-box pop-up
messages on new incoming text messages?

There can be two cases, what to display in bubble-box, according to the
type of the incoming message:

a) on a private incoming message, a bubble-box can contain next message:
"You have a new message from %username%"

b) if it is a global chat message, a bubble-box can display a snippet of
that message.

A bubble-box can be displayed for some period of time.

Along with an animated tray icon (issue id:11), it can be a very huge step
as an overall usability enhancement.

Thanks!

P.S. trayIcon.displayMessage();

I have added basic bubble popup on new private and normal messages. The content 
of 
the message will not be displayed, for privacy reasons.

I will leave the issue open a little while longer in case anyone wants to 
comment on 
the implementation.

Thank you for your feedback!

This is already implemented in the development version. Though it's not tested 
much.

I can email you this version if you like to test it? I appreciate any feedback 
:)

Can you upload it somewhere?

Thanks a lot

Try this: http://kouchat.googlecode.com/svn/site/downloads/kouchat-1.1.0-dev.jar

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for the fast answer.
Wwe were looking for a simple lan messaging software with transfer files 
capability and kouchat is nearly perfect. 
The popup is really useful in a company lan environment since it catches your 
eye and you know *instantly* that you have a message. 
Probably it would be useful to mantain the bubble box popup until the message 
is read (or make this option available through a menu option).
Do you plan to release the code of the development version? 
I'm really a java super novice developer but it would be nice to take a look.

Anyway thanks a lot, I'll continue the tests and I'll let you know.
Regards

As you noticed, the code for the development version is available in the svn 
repo.

I do not know of any way to control how long the popup is shown. Feel free to 
investigate :)
