The RCP application I am working on makes heavy use of the Job API. The RCP workbench includes the interesting little "eye" shaped icon in the lower right corner with the tooltip "Shows background taks in the Progress View". The "Progress View" in question is part of the eclipse.ide.ui plugin (and is not part of my GIS application). The usual monkey see monkey do rules does not help me here as the the Progress View makes use of internal API (and is itself internal). I suspect it is too late in the release cycle for the Progress View (and its friend the Error Log) to be moved over to the eclipse.ui plugin. There are two more options for the "Show Progress View" button: - removal from eclipse.ui (it contributes functionality into my RCP app that I am unable to make good on), and addition to eclipse.ui.ide - provide the ability to open up an RCP supplied view
Created attachment 22400 [details] RCP app with non functioning 'show jobs button'.
Attached file - "button" in question is next to the text "rendering bc_roads"
Jody, I'm aware of the UDIG app, and think it looks really cool. Hope it's going well overall. The code for the progress view is already in the RCP workbench, but the corresponding extension is not included in org.eclipse.ui because not all RCP apps necessarily want it to appear. It should suffice to add the following to your app's plugin.xml. <extension point="org.eclipse.ui.views"> <view name="%Views.Progress" icon="icons/full/eview16/pview.gif" category="org.eclipse.ui" class="org.eclipse.ui.ExtensionFactory:progressView" id="org.eclipse.ui.views.ProgressView"> </view> </extension> You'll need to fix up the name and icon attributes accordingly. You may copy the icon to your plug-in. See bug 73587 and bug 86236 for more on the extension factory mechanism used here.
Changing title to reflect the remaining problem: if the progress view is not available, the progress indicator should not refer to it.
Thanks so much! The app is nearing release (at a conference next week), and this was one of the things on my list to fix. I will see if I can hunt down the error log now - opps it is in the pde runtime (so much for that). Thanks again for your help.
Reassigning bugs in component areas that are changing ownership.
Prakash is now responsible for watching bugs in the [RCP] component area.
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.
