Hi

I started to use monitor (with submonitors), and by reading here

http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_use_a_SubProgressMonitor%3F

I understand that the correct use case is as follows (for instance,
reusing the code in the FAQ):

if this is the main method (copied from the FAQ)

public void move(File a, File b, IProgressMonitor pm) {
try {
pm.beginTask("Moving", 10);
copy(a, b, new SubProgressMonitor(pm, 8));
delete(a, new SubProgressMonitor(pm, 2));
} finally {
pm.done();
}
}

then, in copy and deleted (not shown in the FAQ) I should do as follows:

public void copy(File a, File b, IProgressMonitor pm) {
pm.beginTask("Copying", 1);
...
pm.done();
}

public void delete(File a, IProgressMonitor pm) {
pm.beginTask("Deleting", 1);
...
pm.done();
}

However, if I do like this, the message on the monitor is not changed...
it is changed only if I do

pm.subTask("Copying");

and

pm.subTask("Deleting");

so what is the correct way of using monitors and submonitors?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo
