Hi,

This questions came up already in this newsgroup, but I couldn't find any
solution for it yet:
I am trying to generate documentation for my GMF models and this
documentation should of course include the diagrams as bitmaps. As it takes
quite a while to generate everything, I want to launch a long running job in
the background and not to block the UI thread.

Unfortunately, the copyToImage() method requires a shell and therefore
throws an "Invalid thread access" exception when not being called from the
UI thread.

Does anybody know a workaround for this problem?

Thanks,
Kai
