Hi...in my view, user will enter some information and hits on getDetails
button. At this point, information is retrieved from another system and it
takes a while to reload the view with details. I would like to show an
hour glass during this data retrival process. How can this be done in RCP
View?

On the view set the cursor.

site.getShell().setCursor(this.site.getShell().getDisplay(). getSystemCursor(SWT.CURSOR_WAIT));
Site is the IViewSite.
But be sure to unset it once you are done. Best is to do this in a
finally clause to make sure that the cursor is set back no matter what.

Regards
Stefan
