Display.getActiveShell() requires the caller needs to be UI thread...

Understood. But this dialog has a check box like "Continue propmt ?",
and if this is un-checked, this dialog no longer appears. I think, 
adding this UI is much intuitive than only having this in the
preference.( Note: We have already had this in the preference, though)
