Some plugins use the execute() method to show a dialog and if the user
clicks
on ok, true is returned from execute() and run() method is called.
class HelloProgressPlugIn extends AbstractPlugIn implements ThreadedPlugIn {
void initialize(PlugInContext pluginContext) {}
boolean execute(PlugInContext pluginContext) {
println "execute"
return true
}
void run(TaskMonitor monitor, PlugInContext context) {
println "run"
Thread.sleep(2000)
}
}
During the execution of run() a dialog (TaskMonitorDialog) is displayed, one
can send
progress messages using monitor.progress() to the dialog. Only if the plugin
is implementing
ThreadedPlugIn (i.e. the run() method) this dialog is displayed.
BTW: I'm currently trying to modify the TaskMonitorDialog to show a
progressbar with addional information.
An optional message dialog, displayed after run() is finished, would also be
great. StandardPirolPlugIn
is implementing something like that.
Some code snippets are welcome! This also fits with "[JPP-Devel] More
code-examples?" ;)
I have no clue about changing the taskmonitor within run(). So I trying to
find the class, which
calls execute() and run().
