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

so since as far as i understand from koen he fixed it so wizards progressmonitor is now honored - cant you just have the progressmonitor in forge call this interruprt ?

Making all forge wizards backgroundable seems risky...does it not ? no idea what they might actually do and rely on.
i.e. if touching maven repo or editing files etc ?

my biggest concern is that users are told nothing - its just blocking...thus for that Koen already fixed it so it reports it (haven't tried it  yet though), but need to get more plugins to report back what it is doing.

> 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.
