-----------------------------------------
Summary: Missing API to cancel Project action
Key: NETBEANS-5562
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5562
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: projects - Generic Infrastructure
Reporter: Svatopluk Dedic
*ProjectActionProvider.invokeAction* can be called to invoke an (abstract)
action on a project, like Build. The action may even internally create display
some *ProgressHandle* that the end-user can use to terminate the action - but
the initiating code can not.
For higher-level tools, that use the project infrastructure, a programatic
cancel is desirable. Discovered when I tried to implement *Download Sources*
for Gradle - the process may take long, Gradle build displays a progress, but:
* the progress UI is *outside* the modal dialog, and
* dialog's Cancel button has no effect (no way how to cancel).
The code should be also able to *access* the *ProgressHandle*, or at least
access some *ProgressControl* narrower interface, that could monitor *events*
and eventually *cancel* and *extract components* as the Swing part allows to
*embed* the presentation - currently the progress handle is presented in the
global UI only.
The use-case is to that a code should control the process it launched, display
its progress in a customized way.
