Where can I find some documentation on showing a progress monitor?
I found this:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-core-home/documents/plan_concurrency_modal_progress.htm l

But it doesn't help me very much I'm afraid.

Basically, do what it said. To bring up progress monitor use:

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService().busyCursorWhi le(operation);

This call needs to be run from the UI thread. But your operation will be
executed in another thread. All of the shells will be disabled and a
busy cursor will be set. If it takes longer than a certain preset time
(it looks to be hard-coded to 800 ms), then and only then will the
progress monitor dialog come up. That way the user is not bothered with
a dialog for short operations, only for longer ones.

Thanks, Rich Kulp

As the javadoc or the source easily tells you:
IRunnableWithProgress
