Description Michael Valenta CLA 2004-09-28 10:00:44 EDT 
I got into a situation where there were no more handles (SWT Exception). In 
this case, Eclipse basically becomes unusable and continualy throws the out-of-
handles exception. PErhaps, in this case, Eclipse shoudl just exit since the 
user's only option is to kill it anyway. I will attach my log.

I'm not sure what the answer is. Let's look at it closer during 3.5.
Comment 5 Boris Bokowski CLA 2009-05-06 16:48:36 EDT 
Removing 3.5 target milestone. We are in the end-game now. Please have a look and decide if this should be targeted at 3.6.

I could reproduce the problem - maybe in a very special case:

1. call the progressservice from the UI thread with a long running job (some seconds)
2. during that, wait in GUI using Display.readAndDispatch
--> some GUI job is coming in by ProgressManager#showInDialog
--> a ProgressMonitorFocusJobDialog is created but never disposed (e.g. its shell and cursors)

This only happens, if IPreferenceConstants.RUN_IN_BACKGROUND is set to false.

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.
