[gmf-dev] Re: [GMF - API CHANGE] Deprecation of DispatchingProgressMonit

[Anthony Hunter <anthonyh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Teams as a standard have requested three
weeks to react to these simple API changes before we remove deprecated
API from GMF.

So
Old API Removal: 
Friday, November 18, 2005, unless teams request still more time to migrate.

Note that the changes below also apply
to the internal use of DispatchingProgressMonitor by the GMF core common
platform (ActionManager and AbstractDropTargetListener).
These changes have already been made
and are using ProgressMonitorDialog with fork set to false.

Cheers...
Anthony

Subject	[GMF - API CHANGE] Deprecation of DispatchingProgressMonitorDialog and DispatchingProgressMonitorDialogUtil

Description:
DispatchingProgressMonitorDialog is
to be replaced with the Eclipse core ProgressMonitorDialog.

The API for DispatchingProgressMonitorDialog
and ProgressMonitorDialog are compatible:

new
DispatchingProgressMonitorDialog(null).run(cancelable,
runnable);

becomes 

new
ProgressMonitorDialog(null).run(true,
cancelable, runnable);

With the note that special attention
must be made to the new fork parameter.

Since DispatchingProgressMonitorDialog
is deprecated, user should also replace uses of DispatchingProgressMonitorDialogUtil
with a direct calls to ProgressMonitorDialog 

New API Availability: 
Eclipse API is available in 3.x

Old API Removal: 
Wednesday, November 9, 2005, unless teams request more time to migrate
