Forge wizards block eclipse UI while executing - need to be
backgroundable
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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: Koen Aers
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta2
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.
