Currently, the login dialog that open upon staring up NetBeans does not notify the user about failed logging in.

Suggested solution: A simple popup that says "Failed to log in to TMC. Try logging in using the TMC Settings dialog."

Alternative UI suggestion: if the login fails, show the login dialog again until it succeeds or the user presses "cancel".

(I think it's suboptimal UX to tell the user to navigate to a different view)
