[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Content provider with a long loading time

[André Ribeiro <aferrazlr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have a tree that uses a content provider to be populated.
The content provider is getting the data from a remote database (using 
EclipseLink, over the network), and so is a bit long operation.
When this loading is happening my RCP is completely blocked.

Could anybody suggest me the correct way to do this operation?

I though of eclipse.jobs and monitors, is it an (/the most) appropriate 
solution?

Cheers,
André
