Denis Golovin commented on JBIDE-1298:
--------------------------------------

Slava means the text below white wizard header 'Choose source folder and enter file name'. If look at http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-UI-Guidelines/Contents.html#Wizards it shhould be show as message in wizard title.

3a - corresponds the http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-UI-Guidelines/Contents.html#Capitalization 

"Guideline 1.6 Use Sentence style capitalization for all control labels in a dialog or window, including those for check boxes, radio buttons, group labels, and simple text fields.  Capitalize the first letter of the first word, and any proper names such as the word Java."

3b - could be "Reverse engineer from Database" if Database can be treated the same way as Java in Guidline 1.6, but I'm not sure and "Reverse engineer from database" looks good for me.

>             Project: JBoss Tools
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Seam
>         Environment: Affected: RHDS Build 200711090946-integration
>            Reporter: Viacheslav Kabanovich
>            Priority: Trivial
>             Fix For: 2.0.0.GA

> 1. Title in New -> Seam -> Seam Conversation wizard is 'reate Seam Conversation'. It should be 'New Seam Conversation'.
> 2. Colon symbol (':') is missing in the label for 'Seam Runtime' input field in 'New Seam Project' wizard, 'Seam Facet' page.
> 3. Some buttons at input fields invoking dialogs ('Add', 'Browse') have no '...'. It is a common practice to end button name with three dots, if it invokes a dialog: 'Add...', 'Browse...'.
> 3. Mixing capitalization style. In most cases labels for input fields have the first letter of the first word capitalized while all other words are in lower-case. However, there are some exceptions:
> a) 'Seam Project' - why 'project' is capitalized?
> b) 'Reverse Engineer from database' - why 'Engineer' but 'database'?
> 4. Wizard 'New Page Flow' contains an instruction preceding input fields. That's not bad though sounds rather redundant, but other wizards do not have such an instruction, which creates unnecessary difference in style. 
> 5. Seam Component File has no window name and title at all
> 6. Seam Conversation and Seam Entity have wrong description text 'description body text', that shows during selection in "Select awizard" dialog.
