Long running jobs in e4 [message #768673]

I'm currently trying to implement a long running job with a progress view in an e4 application. I tried it the way it worked for me in eclipse 3.x but this seems to not working anymore because the workbench does not exist anymore. I searched a lot of time but all i found for e4 development were ideas how it could be done in the future. Is there a way to implement long running jobs? Is there an working API for it?
As addition, i don't want to use the compatibitility layer.

Right now there's no Progress Service in the Eclipse 4 world. You either have to implement your own org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.ProgressProvider for jobs, and use some of the components from org.eclipse.jface.dialogs or simply use org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.ProgressMonitorDialog directly.

Thank you for your answer. Are there any plans to implement something like that until the release of 4.2?

There won't be any push to get the progress service into the Eclipse 4 code in 4.2, as the focus of 4.2 is on supporting the 3.x plugins available in Juno. It might get looked at in 4.3
