I'm simply echoing Volker's sentiment in asking what were they thinking? I've talked about the excellent Notes error messages before - or more to the point, I've passed along the comments of a friend (Mr Sonic, who really needs a web presence, as in yesterday).
They really are pretty spectacular - at times Helpdesk operators attempt to get a user to describe an error message "exactly as it appears" for troubleshooting purposes. What's the conversation going to be like when someone tries to describe this:
I'd say "Godzilla pwned my Workstation". But that's just me. Because I loved Sonic's quote then, I'm going to re-use it now:
When I try to launch beta 3 I get this error. I'm glad to see that they've cleaned up the error messages and made them less obscure, eclipse seems to be a real win win for them so far.
It's great to know that those error messages weren't unique to beta 3 - they made it into the release code too!
