             Summary: 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
            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.
