How do I solve the issue of showing Jobs that have not been started/scheduled yet.

In my RCP it is neccessary to wait until the user starts a number of different jobs by pushing the "run" button. I want to show these jobs before starting them. When running I want the progress capability.
What the best practice to to so? Write an extension to org.eclipse.ui.views.ProgressView?

I am open to suggestions.

Hi Chris,

Scheduled jobs should be visible in the progressmonitor view even if they are
not running yet. If you make the job a system job, it will not show in the
UI.

Thx Wim for your reply!

While it is true that user jobs are shown when they are scheduled and asleep, they also start right away when using #schedule().

I solved my issue in creating a dummy Job that does nothing but wait for a button to be pushed and then is done. This job is the first in the row and blocks the rest as long as it is running.

Worked for me _for now_.
