hi all!

i'm trying to write a small plugin, that flushes a contents of a big
text-files within my TextView.
but during reading and flushing some file int? view, eclipse freezes.

i do it as follows:

public void execute(){
Display display = Display.getCurrent();
display.syncExec(aSyncRunnable = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
executeFlush();
aSyncRunnable = null;
}
});
}

The executeFlush()-Function creates an BufferedReader for a text-file to
read..
can anybody help me?
thank you..
max

By performing the syncExec, you are executing the process on the SWT GUI
thread. This prevents any other events from being processed while the
process is running.

In stead of running the process on the GUI thread, you should create your
own thread, passing in the runnable and then start the thread.

Something along the lines of:
Thread backgroundThread = new Thread() {
public void run() {
executeFlush();
}
};
backgroundThread.start();
