[JET] how to show the details in progress bar [message #533037]

We are using the following method to invoke the JET plugin.

JET2Platform.runTransformOnResource(transformId,
				resource, monitor);

Our JET plugin has about 86 templates and need executes about 10 mins when using a medium input.

The problem is the progress bar doesn't go ahead during the transformation. It only reach to the 100% when the transformation almost finished. This is not make sense. Users don't know the UI is breakdown or not. So is there any way to show the details in the progress bar? for example, we can show the templates current running to let user know the application is working.

Kyle:

There is no good way for JET to give progress during template execution.
The JET engine cannot (mathematically) understand your templates, and
thus cannot estimate how much time they will take to complete.
