Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-17268:
---------------------------------------------

this just wont work. interrupt() does not interrupt threads unless your code checks for it.

The commands needs to check this anyway. How would forge proxy thread handle that ?

> 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.
