How to execute a Job allways in background [message #461390]

Hi all,

I've tried some things with the Job API, by using the article at
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Concurrency/jobs-api .html
.. Works fine. But now, I want to run a Job (e.g. a save action) allways
in background by default. Is this possible?

I found nothing about it in the article, eclipsepedia or the API.

Thx

Florian Wendland

Hi,

what do you mean by "in background by default"?

If you think of a job which runs in background without a UI comming up, you
can use

yourJob.setSystem(true);

Greetz,
Carsten

Hi Carsten,

no, this was not exactly what I mean. I only want the UI progress bar by
default in the Status Line and no Dialog coming uo, in which the user
can decide whether this job has to run in background or not.

Hope this explanation makes sense.

Thx

Try Job.setUser(false).
