Hi,
In a preference page, I have this code to show possible exceptions to the
end user:
SafeRunnable.run(new SafeRunnable() {
public void run() throws Exception {
....
});
}
The preference page is inside the preferences dialog, which is modal.
The problem is that the SafeRunnableDialog appears disabled and behind the
preferences dialog.
The cause is probably that the parent of the notifying dialog is the mian
workbench window, instead of the preferences dialog.
I'm using Eclipse 3.3.2, Java 1.6 and Windows XP.
It's impossible for me to solve this from my plugin, as the
SafeRunnableDialog is not public, unless I duplicate all the code.
If accessible, maybe I could try SafeRunnableDialog.configureShell()
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try StatusManager.getManager().handle(status, StatusManager.SHOW). Usually,
it is not a good idea to open a modal dialog (error dialog or not) from deep
down in your code, because this will run the event loop and therefore any
asyncExecs that may be queued up. These asyncExecs could then change your
environment in drastic ways - for example, think about the case where the
update manager has finished installing new plug-ins and prompts you to
restart the workbench.
