R3.2.1, WinXP
It may well be that what I am seeing is smehow WAD (e.g., maybe ProgressMonitorDialog is not
intended to be used with IProgressMonitor.UNKNOWN), but it sure seems wrong to me.
In the preStartup() method of my WorkbenchAdvisor, I need to start up a remote service; this can
take some while, but my RCP app must try to start it before it can display anything reasonable. So,
I execute some code as below -- but the "bar" of the ProgressMonitorDialog never moves at all. (The
subtask gets updated.) Also, if I move some other window in front of the ProgressMonitorDialog, then
minimize that other window, the whole dialog area of the ProgressMonitorDialog goes white
(window-title bar is ok).
What is wrong here?
thanks
Paul

final Shell shell = pmd.getShell();
final GC gc = new GC(shell);
gc.setFont(JFaceResources.getDialogFont());
int avgWidth = gc.getFontMetrics().getAverageCharWidth();
gc.dispose();
// the position (300, 300) and height (200) are somewhat arbitrary
// the width-offset of 100 allows for the dialog's "info" image
shell.setBounds(300, 300, 100 + avgWidth * text.length(), 200);
shell.setText("Starting The Server");
shell.update();

There is this line in the IDEWorkbenchAdvisor.preStartup method:
Platform.getJobManager().suspend();
If you have it in your code, try to start your remote service earlier.

Well, the isServerReady() must be returning pretty quickly, since the *text* set by the call to
monitor.subTask("...") updates quite nicely, counting off the seconds. But the blue-bar either never
(some runs) or rarely (other runs) updates, and if it does update, it only moves once or two steps
over the course of about 100 seconds.
