Eclipse 3.0 Jobs and Progress handling examples? [message #265791]

Does anyone have pointers to simple examples of how to use
the org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs API?

I'm trying to work out how to run a compute intensive job
and show a progress bar while the job runs. (A cancel button
would be great, but the simple progress bar is what is
confounding me.)

Thanks,
Michael Richmond

If you just run a straight job then it uses the progress bar in the
Progress View. Or it shows in the progress bar on the bottom right of
the Eclipse window. There is no need to bring up a separate progress
dialog. This allows the job to continue running in the background
without stopping the rest of the ui. This is what the builder does.

I.e:

1) create a subclass of Job that does what you want in the
run(IProgressMonitor) method
2) job.schedule() or job.schedule(long delay)

you can look at org.eclipse.ui.examples.job Plugin on CVS

Thanks for those pointers. I now have various jobs handled in my
plugin. Is there any way to disable the run in background button
on the progress dialog?

Thanks.

No. If you disable the "Run in Background" button, then there is no
value to using jobs. You might as well just use
IProgressService.busyCursorWhile(runnable), which will create a modal
progress dialog after a brief delay.
