Copy to clipboard for error messages

[weberjn]

If there is a popup showing an error, e.g. "Path does not chain with any of the trust anchors" in Verify an SSL Connection, it would be nice, if there was a copy button on the dialog to copy the error message to the clipboard. Then you could paste it into google instead of having to type it up.

Yeah, sounds reasonable. Do you want to implement this?

Guess one would have to use the jbCopy Button code from DErrorDetail and make a image button as in DViewCertificate.jbViewPublicKeyDetails. But I'm not into Swing anymore.

That's certainly a good approach. Unfortunately it's by far not enough as this is a standard Swing dialog:

There is no way to add custom buttons to it. We would have to write our own custom dialog to replace it.

But I'm not into Swing anymore.

That's a pity, developers with Swing knowledge are hard to find.

I have in mind to create this window, to see all the validation of a certificate, then I will show you the progress.

@jgrateron That's a good idea!

@jgrateron But please keep in mind that similar code already exists in the org.kse.gui.error package. It is better to extend the code there than to write something completely new.
