Customizing the progress view in Eclipse

I have an RCP application on Eclipse that makes quite a lot of use of jobs. This causes the Progress View to become cluttered at times and difficult t开发者_如何学JAVAo easily read.

Is it possible to extend to progress view to filter or tab the running jobs by category? Or is this beyond its intended use?

You can:

1. set group several jobs together - use setProgressGroup method on your job. Jobs, related to same progress group will be presented by single entry in the progress view.

2. mark job as system - use setSystem(true) method on your job instance. Jobs, that are marked as system, are not visible in the job view, by default.

3. implement your own view, that displays running jobs. You should use IJobManager to attach a listener, that will receive job status notifications.

No, Progress View code is all internal and we don't have any plans to make it extendable. You should think about suggestions (1) and (2) by @aav The suggestion (3) can't be done, as IJobManager won't give you the actual progress.
