Re: [platform-debug-dev] Launching with background build

[Jared Burns <jaredburns@xxxxxxx>]

I should have replied to John's email instead of yours. I was thinking of his 
psuedocode where you see if a build job exists and either join to it or 
prompt and wait. That code applies even if the user has the "build before 
launch" option turned off. I'm just saying we should prompt in either branch 
of this psuedocode:

Job[] build = 
Platform.getJobManager().find(ResourcesPlugin.FAMILY_AUTO_BUILD);
if (build.length == 1) {
   if (build[0].getState() == Job.WAITING) {
       //auto-build is blocked by another process, so ask the user if they 
want to launch or wait
   } else if (build[0].getState() == Job.RUNNING) {
       //auto-build is running, so join it to wait until it completes
      build[0].join();
   }
}
