I am trying to use ProgressMonitorDialog as

ProgressMonitorDialog d = new ProgressMonitorDialog(shell);
d.run(true,true,myIRunnableWithProgress);

I would expect this code to spawn a server push session run the whole request in a background thread and return. Instead it calls ModalContext.run() which then in turn
creates a ModalThread

t = new ModalContextThread(operation, monitor, display);

then starts the thread and then calls t.block();

block() grabs the event loop

try {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
exceptionCount = 0;
}
which is still on the UI thread thus the error, and more importantly my dialog box does not appear.

What am I doing wrong?
