UISynchronizer and use32Threading [message #625889]

Hi, All!

I've got the situation that is described in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=219913 : have to open Logon dialog when Workbench is still starting. This leads to deadlock, because the Logon dialog is opened in Dispaly.syncExec.
Therefore I have a question: should we define the constant UISynchronizer.use32Threading = true in RAP and use 3.2 threading to done all syncExecs properly while Workbench is starting? If not, I have to search the cause of my problem somewhere else Sad

Best regards,
Yury.

Hi Yury,

even if it would solve this problem, switching to 3.2 threading would be
a hack and we'd need very good reasons to do so.

Do you think the solution to bug 182176 could help you? I think we could
easily provide the class DisplayAccess now.

Regards, Ralf

Hi, Ralf!

Yes, I think fixes of the bug 182176 can resolve my problem.

Quote:

New API "org.eclipse.ui.application.DisplayAccess" has been
created. This class has one static method, "accessDisplayDuringStartup()".
Calling this method on any thread not created by the UI (ie: any user Thread)
will allow that thread to access the Display.async() and Display.sync() methods
as if they were one of our privileged startup threads.

That's exactly what I need.

Best regards,
Yury.

Hi Yury,

I added a note to bug 309661 to open this API during the workbench
migration. You may set yourself on copy for this bug if you like.

Regards, Ralf
