[DrJava] DrJava Visual Bell

[Christian W. <cw...@ri...>]

Everyone,

Does anyone have a good idea as to how to add a 'visual bell' to DrJava?
Emacs' bell inverts the colors on the status bar for a second.  screen's
flashes "woof" across the top of the screen.

With DrJ, we've tried changing the status bar to say "beep!", repainting,
then setting it back to the filename; we tried the same with the MainFrame's
title.  Neither is really visible, and definitely not sufficient to grab the
attention of the user in place of a real beep.

Flashing the bar of the MainFrame--somehow switching its focus on and off
three times or so (like an instant message)--might work; but we're not quite
sure how one would do this.  Anyone done something similar before or have
any thoughts?

Thanks,
Christian
