Description Michael Valenta CLA 2002-06-19 08:22:47 EDT 
After laucnhing an external tool from within Eclipse, the Progress Dialog 
remained open and Eclipse was unusable. Cancelling the progress dialog did 
nothing (except disable the cancel button). I had to manually kill Eclipse.

Here are the specifics:

1. I registered Dreamweaver as an external tool and set it to use the selected 
resource as an argument. 
2. Opening documents seemed to work fine yesterday when Dreamweaver was already 
running.
3. Opening a document when Dreamweaver was not already running resulted in the 
above probelm. The document was opened properly but Eclipse was unusable.

Sounds like Dreamweaver remains running even when the last doc is closed, and 
Eclipse waits for it.  A workaround would be to launch it via a batch file 
using "cmd".

In release 2.0.1, you can run a tool in the background. This should solve your 
problem. Reopen if not.
