------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
