Thank you so much for publishing the missing puzzle piece. I was looking for it after reading the article Prakash wrote. And especially the progress indicator on the status bar.

Hi Stuart,

I’m not clear on exactly what’s happening. Does the Progress View open up as soon as you start the job? It’s only supposed to open if you click on the progress feedback in the status line.

I’m using eclipse Jobs and need to see the progress dialog + status bar progress indicator. These are available by setting:
configurer.setShowStatusLine(true);
configurer.setShowProgressIndicator(true);

With this comes the Progress view which I don’t want. Is there anyway to disable it?

Thanks.

Hi all,
the progressbar also shows up, when u use a user-job and the ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor is configured like that:

configurer.setShowProgressIndicator(true);
configurer.setShowStatusLine(true);

thx

Hi Kai,

You could contribute the progress view yourself with a perspectiveExtension. Then you would have access to the properties (closeable, etc) that all views do.

Never mind, I figured it out. I was accidentally calling monitor.worked() after monitor.done() had been called, and I guess that screwed stuff up.

Cool, that mostly works. Thanks.

However, the progress indicator on the status bar never goes away when the job is done.

I tried calling:

site.getActionBars().getStatusLineManager().getProgressMonitor().done();

But that didn’t seem to help.

Hi Bob,

To get progress information to show up you’ll also need to have the following line in your WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.preWindowOpen() method:

configurer.setShowProgressIndicator(true)

Hope this helps.
