A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :

Comments
EVALUATION Make the option dialog resizable but do not convert it into a window in order to avoid having orphan windows spread everywhere and whose operation context has been lost (after a while you no longer remember to which MBean and operation the result value was associated to). In order to compare return values it might be better to copy the result value to the clipboard (or save to file) for example and then compare.
