Viacheslav Kabanovich commented on JBIDE-21464:
-----------------------------------------------

Taken from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn742392%28v=vs.85%29.aspx :

"Proper use of ellipses is important to indicate that users can make further choices before performing the action, or even cancel the action entirely. The visual cue offered by an ellipsis allows users to explore your software without fear.

This doesn't mean you should use an ellipsis whenever an action displays another window—only when additional information is required to perform the action. For example, the commands About, Advanced, Help, Options, Properties, and Settings must display another window when clicked, but don't require additional information from the user. Therefore they don't need ellipses."

Here _additional information_ are key words. Confirmation dialog for 'Delete' does not ask for additional information, it warns user and prompts him to check his decision.

> Currently OpenShift tree items in OpenShift Explorer view have "Delete" context menu item. Previously it was more natural, because we had "Delete connection(s)..." "Delete domain..." etc., not it is all "Delete".
> If just plain "Delete" is considered as a good way to go, at least there should be three dots as suffix, because after click on the context menu Delete there is required user confirmation of deletion. So it should be at least "Delete...".
