How to invoke a handler with a progress monitor? [message #494488]

I'm trying to seperate my commands into UI and non-UI. I register my non-UI handler to a menu action. That handler may take while to execute. Is there a way to run that handler with a IProgressMonitor? Note, I don't want to depend any UI code, or else I would have just run it like:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService().busyCursorWhi le(runnable);

Thanks.

I am unsure about handlers, but if you are using the Job API, you can
certainly get progress bars for non-ui processes.

More information about the Job API:
