Long running wizard process [message #467462]

I have a wizard that takes about 20-30 seconds to complete. The Eclipse
wizard dialog makes the call to my wizard's performFinish method on the UI
thread. This makes the Eclipse UI largely unresponsive (aka frozen) while
the code is executing. The only time the UI appears to get any cycles is
when the progress bar is updated, but that's not enough the keep the UI
responsive.

Does anyone have any ideas how to free up the UI thread while my process is
running, while still not dismissing the wizard dialog until the process is
complete?
