Hi again,
I'm trying to find a decent solution to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=495007
. I'd like to discuss the cause of this issue, and most likely
of some other similar issues - or workarounds such as requiring
to hit "Enter", reducing "fluidity" of the interface- in Eclipse
IDE:
As I've spent some more time on this topic, we IMHO just need to
expose some APIs to more easily customize where progress is
reported for Jobs in order to make it possible to greatly improve
development and usage of long operations in dialogs.
Concretely, something like
ProgressManager.getInstance().progressFor(myJob).addProgressListener(wizardProgressMonitor)
would be ideal. Those APIs are currently not accessible and the
JobMonitor only support a single listener, but changing that is
very affordable. Is anyone aware of some already existing
initiative and/or bugs about making it easier for people to report
job progress anywhere it makes sense (rather than in current
Progress view, status bar and ProgressDialog) ?
Cheers,
