Hello,
I have been using the jobs api fairly comfortably, but I am having a
little trouble with providing feedback to the users. It is very easy to
show a dialog that shows the progress of the job (job.setUser(true).
However, I would like to provide the feedback on the bottom of the window
rather than a new popup dialog box, perhaps along with a busy cursor(So
far, I have been able to get the busy cursor on its own, and the busy
cursor with the dialog box). I would like to do this without asking my
users to run the job in background. Is this possible? I would appreciate
any guidance regarding this issue. Thanks in advance.


Best Regards,
Khawaja Shams

By default (setUser(false) and setSystem(false), progress for the job
will be shown in the status line and the progress view. There is no way
to set a global busy cursor while your job is running, but it is
possible to set a busy cursor for a particular view while a job is
running: IWorkbenchSiteProgressService.showBusyForFamily().
