[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: job dialog ...

[John Arthorne <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no "easy" way to customize the dialog that is displayed for 
user jobs.  If you are writing an RCP application, you are free to 
implement all the user interface for jobs yourself (by implementing a 
org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.ProgressProvider).  However, this is quite 
complex to write.  If you only want a custom dialog for a certain group 
of jobs, then you could make them non-user jobs, and then use a job 
change listener to open a dialog. However, there is no way to accurately 
get the progress "ticks" from those jobs to show progress in that dialog.
