Pavol Srna commented on JBIDE-17268:
------------------------------------

Here is my screencast: http://youtu.be/zUUbA5PgGt4

It takes too long to cancel the operation >3min. At my first attempts I killed eclipse after 2minutes because of my impatience.

Is there a way to improve? Don't know, .. reopening to hear about options.

> 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.
