I have noticed the latest eclipse 3.3.M4 has a new API to implement
‘busy’ notice on the heading tab. It’s quite trivial then, since for
background processing we usually start with a Job, schedule(), and then add
a job change state listener.
Previous code is
Job job = new Job("My Job") {
//run implementation here
};
job.schedule()
changed to
Job job = new Job("My Job") {
//run implementation here
};
IWorkbenchSiteProgressService service = (IWorkbenchSiteProgressService) getSite()
.getAdapter(IWorkbenchSiteProgressService.class);
service.schedule(job);
Then every time you get job running, a busy icon will appear on the view heading tab.
