[mylar-dev] I/O cancellation handling

["Willian Mitsuda" <wmitsuda@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I saw that there are some bugs opened regarding handling of repository
communication cancellation, and this was discussed on last meeting
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mylar_Meetings#Tuesday.2C_Januray_9.2C_10-11am_PT).

I just saw Michael Valenta's post about communication error handling:

http://eclipselowdown.blogspot.com/2007/01/responsive-remote-connections.html

and I think perhaps some concepts could be useful.

For instance, I'm handling bug#162608,
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162608) and depending
on what I get as soon as I resubmit the patch (perhaps next week),
I'll keep you posted.

There are some bugs/plans to unify error/operation handling, and
having something unified to handle progress/cancellation can be useful
too.
