Standard dialogs

The package org.eclipse.jface.dialogs defines the basic support for dialogs. This package provides standard dialogs for displaying user messages and obtaining simple input from the user.

The standard dialogs are designed so that you can completely specify the dialog in its constructor. We saw a MessageDialog in action in the readme tool's view action:

   MessageDialog.openInformation(
      view.getSite().getShell(),"Readme Editor","View Action executed");
