UIJob hangs [message #328705]

Hy all

I'm having a problem with an UIJob. I'm trying to schedule and run it when
the user presses a button in a property page, but the platform never runs it
(eclipse hangs on join and the actual job never starts to run).
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andrei

Sounds like you are creating a deadlock situation. Can you post your
thread dumps?

If you use join() in the UI thread, you will block the UI thread until
the UIJob finishes --> that will block indefinitely !

Hei!

I don't really understand it - why is the UI thread going to be blocked indefinitely - the UIJob could last only a couple of seconds?!

Best regards
