[eclipse-dev] First cut of responsive UI work released to HEAD
|
The additional support from the Workbench team for the responsive UI work
has been released to HEAD. It will appear in Nightly builds starting
tonight and will be included in the July 1 integration build/
Following on from the job handling released by Core in M1 the UI team has
released further support for the Job framework in the UI. It is now
possible to create an instance of UIJob which will run in the UI Thread
rather than in some other Thread supplied by the JobManager. This is a
requirement for any code that must interact with an SWT component.
UIJob requires a Display to be able to run as it is run using an
asynchExec. This Display must be set before the UIJob is scheduled. If a
UIJob is used then the creator of the UIJob must also set the display to
run it in and be sure that that display exists when the code is executed.
An alternative to UIJob is the WorkbenchUIJob which will get a display
from a WorkbenchWindow if one is not set.WorkbenchUIJob is defined in the
org.eclipse.ui.workbench project and so it can be used by plugins with
org.eclipse.ui.workbench as a prerequisite.
The first cut of the progress indicator is now also available. It is
disabled by default. You can enable it by adding the line
org.eclipse.ui.workbench/showProgressIndicator=true to the file
plugin_customization.ini in org.eclipse.platform.
