| 45 : | johna | 1.7 | <p><b>Progress updates</b> </p> |
| 46 : | johna | 1.19 | <p>April 30, 2004 - Significant changes have been made to the UI presentation |
| 47 : | of jobs. A new class of "user" initiated jobs are now shown in a progress dialog | ||
| 48 : | by default, and moved to the background on request. The progress view was | ||
| 49 : | replaced with a new implementation using native progress indicators. Jobs in | ||
| 50 : | this view can also have actions associated with them for executing when the | ||
| 51 : | job completes. An affordance on the workbench window status line indicates | ||
| 52 : | when there is activity in the progress view, and when there are interesting results | ||
| 53 : | being shown. | ||
| 54 : | </p> | ||
| 55 : | johna | 1.16 | <p>January 26, 2004 - Job and UI API are feature complete. Remaining work |
| 56 : | is to improve the UI experience, fix bugs, and write documentation. | ||
| 57 : | </p> | ||
| 58 : | johna | 1.13 | <p>October 20, 2003 (M4 milestone) - Most existing background activity has |
| 59 : | been moved to use the jobs API. New feature work (such as quick diff) is also | ||
| 60 : | using jobs extensively. The UI now gives feedback when a modal operation | ||
| 61 : | is blocked due to conflicts with a background operation, and the user is able to | ||
| 62 : | cancel when in this state. A dynamic team has been setup to address the remaining | ||
| 63 : | responsiveness issues for the M5 milestone. | ||
| 64 : | </p> | ||
| 65 : | johna | 1.6 | <p> |
| 66 : | johna | 1.10 | July 14, 2003 - Several clients are now using the job manager for background |
| 67 : | activity, including the UI decorator and various debug threads. The CVS/Team | ||
| 68 : | component is using jobs in a "work in progress" mode that has to be enabled | ||
| 69 : | from preference pages. This includes background filling of the repository view, | ||
| 70 : | background update of live sync view, and background CVS operations such as checkout. | ||
| 71 : | The UI progress indicator needs to be manually enabled by hard-coding the preference | ||
| 72 : | "showProgressIndicator=true" in the org.eclipse.ui.workbench preference store. | ||
| 73 : | In branch "Bug_36957", org.eclipse.core.resources now uses background jobs for | ||
| 74 : | building, resource change notification, and workspace snapshot (incremental save). | ||
| 75 : | Search and JDT core components are actively working on moving to job manager API. | ||
| 76 : | <p> | ||
| 77 : | johna | 1.8 | June 24, 2003 - The additional support from the Workbench team for the responsive UI work |
| 78 : | johna | 1.7 | has been released to HEAD. It appears in Nightly builds starting with N20030624 and will be |
| 79 : | included in the July 1 integration build. Many bug fixes and API refinements have been | ||
| 80 : | released to the job manager infrastructure in org.eclipse.core.runtime in HEAD.</p> | ||
| 81 : | <p> | ||
| 82 : | johna | 1.8 | June 4, 2003 - Implementation of core job manager API has been released to the 3.0 HEAD stream. |
| 83 : | johna | 1.4 | This API is still experimental, and is not currently used by any components in the |
| 84 : | platform. There is ongoing work in branch "Bug_36957" in both core and UI | ||
| 85 : | that is beginning to use this API.</p> | ||
