When code mining is enabled, to show the number of references in the editor some time is required. During this time the status bar should indicate that code mining is happening in the background.

@Angelo,
Please look into this for 4.11

For SWT class which had 17000 references it took close to 5-6 seconds and it gives a feeling that Code Minings did not work.

This can apply to any editor. The completable future for code mining might better be a user job so it's visible in the UI and status bar.

Using a user job will break the codemining provider API. I think it's an hard task to use an user job. More codemining will not work with a simple java main if we use an user job.

-1 for adding such info to the status bar/ progress view. I think is more confusing than helpful to the end user. 

IntelliJ provides a similar behavior and I also do not see reporting if the mining is calculating.

If we have technical issues to implement it, it's different but otherwise this should be the reason to add the feature  :)

Mass change, please reset target if you still planning to fix this for 4.11.

The code mining could first indicate immediately something like "? references (computing)" on the line and alter it to show the actual result when available.
