Exit dialog window

[TheProjectDark]

Description

I was reviewing code in NetBeans and often miss-clicked cmd+q instead of pressing cmd+a, and it was so annoying to wait until the IDE re-launches so I just implemented exit dialog window like in Firefox or JetBrains.

Implementation

The exit flow is centralized in ExitDialog.showDialog(), which is already called during shutdown. It checks for open unsaved files first: if there are any, NetBeans shows its existing save/discard dialog. If there are none, it checks the new preference and, when enabled, shows Exit, Save All and Exit, and Cancel. Choosing Save All calls LifecycleManager.saveAll() before allowing shutdown; Cancel keeps the IDE open.
The checkbox is in Tools > Options > General. The panel loads its value when the options page opens, detects changes so Apply is enabled when appropriate, and saves the preference when settings are applied. The preference is stored with NetBeans’ user settings and defaults to enabled. Cmd+Q and Ctrl+F4 reach the same shutdown flow through their respective platform handlers/keymap bindings.

Thanks for looking at this. I hit this issue sometimes with a dual monitor setup when the close icon is right next to something I'm trying to click on the other screen! 😄

Couple of changes that are not related need looking at, and I'm not sure why we need the Save All option?
