79    <h4>Issues</h4>
80    <ul>
81    <li>What happens when jobs overlap? When a new update is to be scheduled and the previous job is still running, do we stop that job, or let it run and don't schedule another?</li>
82    <li>Should jobs should start with a clean slate?
83            That is, if a previous job has been stopped (see previous issue), should the newly started job use the partial work from the other job?</li>
84    <li>The idea of Eclipse scheduled jobs is to avoid modal dialogs, but what if the update notification does happen
85            as another modal dialog (wizard, etc.) is up and we choose to launch the install?</li>
