Saving/opening files is blocked while code generation [message #1827505]

Hello,

I have a DSL in that when users try to open files with our {.DSL extension} the user is blocked until the code generation completed. It's annoying to users. I want to improve usability.

Currently, we extend class ParallelBuilderParticipant for {DSL to header file generation} where we call super.doBuild(deltas, outputConfigurations, generatorMarkers, context, access, progressMonitor).

For DSL file compilation we extend XtextBuilder where we call super.doBuild(toBeBuilt, monitor, type);

Analysis so far:
Currently, DSL files compilation and header generation is on a single thread.
Read and Write can't happen at the same time if modify the generation with multi-threaded, so in that case, users are allowed to open a file? not to save.

So any inputs and suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks
Nagaraj
