hi,

I want to run a process of indexing a database when i click on an
action.How do i create a new thread/process using the eclipse api, should
I be using the "jobs API" or make it run in a class that implements
"Runnable"
Which one is a better approach or are there any other better methods...

thanks

Vijai

Using a job is better, because (a) the user can see it is happening, and (b) they have control of killing it off if necessary. You can change the priority of the job so that it is a low priority (so that others can overtake it). Your action then becomes launching the job.

I highly recommend this article on jobs from eclipse.org:
