[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17268) Forge wizards block eclipse UI while executing - need to be backgroundable

[Lincoln Baxter III (JIRA)]

Lincoln Baxter III commented on JBIDE-17268:
--------------------------------------------

I suppose backgrounding a wizard could be risky since there's no way to know what it's doing underneath. So you'd rather have the scenario where it blocks the UI than be able to minimize it and let it change things in the background?

> 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.
