Run Jobs concurrently? [message #820089]

How can I use eclipse Jobs to split up a long task into several parallel running jobs? From the looks of the Job api, jobs run in order they are in the queue, but can they be run in parallel?

Thanks,
Roshan

You can create and schedule as many jobs as you want. Multiple worker threads will run them in parallel. The worker threads come from a pool.
