[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20028?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Andre Dietisheim commented on JBIDE-20028: ------------------------------------------ If we close the wizard before we launch the import job, it's not obvious to the user that the import is being executed (especially if he at some point decided to put all progress dialogs to the background). He only gets that if he's is closely watching to the Eclipse status bar (where the job displays it's progress) or the progress view (which might not be opened though). The only standard means to improve this slightly is to keep the job in the press view once it's finished and possibly have it a link which unveils further informations. The code required for is described here: https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Concurrency/jobs-api.html {code} Job job = new Job("Online Reservation") { protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) { // Make a reservation // ... setProperty(IProgressConstants.ICON_PROPERTY, getImage()); if (isModal(this)) { // The progress dialog is still open so // just open the message showResults(); } else { setProperty(IProgressConstants.KEEP_PROPERTY, Boolean.TRUE); setProperty(IProgressConstants.ACTION_PROPERTY, getReservationCompletedAction()); } return Status.OK_STATUS; } }; job.setUser(true); job.schedule(); {code} non-modal notifications are lacking in the platform, efforts are ongoing: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=229823 Myling commons provide a base class that may be used to provide these: AbstractWorkbenchNotificationPopup. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
