[platform-core-dev] Q on the WorkbenchPart support for IJobChangeListene

[Pat McCarthy <patmc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to match this statement from
the responsiveness/concurrency presentation at EclipseCON with the code:

        "WorkbenchPart
will provide default progress hint if job is scheduled from a view or editor."

As I wander the WorkbenchPart I see
that getAdapter has changed to return an IJobChangeListener:
        if(IJobChangeListener.class.equals(adapter))
         
      return
getJobChangeListener();

The default implementation of getJobChangeListener
returns a null, and I've yet to find any parts in Eclipse that are using
this support, but I'd like to understand the intent.

And, just so I'm clear on your protocol
for marking new API, should I expect to see @since 3.0 in changed methods
such as getAdapter and/or new methods like getJobChangeListener?
I use the Java task tags to help identify
the new api and these are not popping up on my radar as they are not marked
as I've seen others marked.

Thanks.
