This is a helper plug-in for Eclipse. It doesn’t offer any active end user features on its own. Instead, it provides an API to display popup notifications that automatically disappear after a short moment.
Notifications can be styled by setting the foreground and background colours and title and message fonts. Each notification may have an icon and a callback which is called if the user clicks on the popup.
A preference page allows users to change the default notfication style. Applications may override these styles.
This plug-in is a byproduct of Grep Console and Clippets. I haven’t written any separate documentation, but the source code contains Javadoc comments. The plug-in may be used in other projects under the terms of the Eclipse Public Licence.
Version 1.0 of Popup Notifications was released on 2014-07-03.
