Showing progress dialog using Eclipse jobs API

Below piece of code shows how can we run the eclipse jobs interactively by showing eclipse progress dialog using Eclipse Jobs API.

Job installationJob = new Job("Creating a new creating catalog...")

{

@Override

public IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor)

{

try

{

monitor.beginTask("creating catalog...", 10);

//do your task here

}

finally

{

monitor.done();

}

return Status.OK_STATUS;

}

};

installationJob.setPriority(Job.INTERACTIVE);

//This is alternative to the installationJob.setUser(true);
//sometimes setUser(true) doesn't show up the progress dialog, in those cases below piece of code can be used.

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService()

.showInDialog(Display.getDefault().getActiveShell(), installationJob);

installationJob.schedule();
