Description Nick Edgar CLA 2001-10-10 22:42:28 EDT 
All our progress dialogs have a poor title and message:
	Progress information
	Operation in progress

The message passed to IProgressMonitor.beginTask should be used for either the 
title or the message.
Could perhaps use it for the title, and get rid of the message.

This is a major usability issue.
(The GUI Bloopers book also has a few entries on this).
Comment 3 Seth Nickell CLA 2002-08-09 20:31:32 EDT 
It is additionally useful to provide progress feedback in the title itself where
such information is available. Although this is less relevant to Eclipse (which
is alarmingly modal) today because progress dialogues usually stay on top, it
might be worth building in good titling in anticipation of an Eclipse with less
application modality.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-28 10:37:44 EDT 
We are suggesting adding an extra constructor that takes the title and message 
and allows the user to set them. These would not be used for progress 
themselves - if you wanted a dialog with progress in the title then you should 
use a different one.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-28 10:39:08 EDT 
Relisting as a P4 enhancement as this will take some architectural discussion.
Comment 6 Tod Creasey CLA 2006-04-07 10:03:48 EDT 
There are currently no plans to work on this feature
Comment 7 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:07:20 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
