Forge wizards block eclipse UI while executing - need to be stoppable/canceble ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBIDE-17268 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17268 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: forge Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta1 Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III Assignee: Lincoln Baxter III Priority: Critical Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta3 Forge wizards currently can block the eclipse UI. Run any non-trivial command and the Eclipse interface will be completely blocked until the forge command is cancelled, which may not be possible if the command is not using a fine-grained progress monitor and checks frequently. Introducing a threaded command execution would allow the use of {code}commandThread.interrupt(){code} And should allow both backgrounding of running wizards, but also more reliable cancellation with Forge's proxy support for thread interrupt handling. Alternative is to: provide method to cancel progress. on first try cancel if command is "CanCancel" then use progress monitor cancel, if not use thread.interrupt() that will stop the progress on proxy boundaries.
