Currently the TimeTriggeredProgressMonitorDialog is placed in org.eclipse.ui.internal.operations package making it internal component. However great number of application can benefit if this was a public component. For example: consider a "parent-child" UI construct. The master element is a tree widget. A selection in the tree widget determines the content of the child widget, e.g. table widget. However, to loading the content of the child widget is a long running operation. A progress dialog need to be displayed each time a selection is made in the master widget. This could result in a "flashing" dialog. A dialog showing just for a fraction of second. The TimeTriggeredProgressMonitorDialog solves this problem in a very elegant way. I would like to suggest moving the TimeTriggeredProgressMonitorDialog to a public packages such as org.eclipse.jface.dialogs or org.eclipse.ui.dialogs. Thanks Stefan
Incidentally, this bit me in the bum while I was trying to do some custom RCP work awhile back. Having this available would be quite useful.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
