Re: [eclipse-dev] Progress bars and threads

[Ian Michell <ianm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah,

That didn't seem to work, (I might not have implemented it properly) its 
not important now, I have already tagged the project for beta 2 release, 
so its ok now :-P  I know its made like that for my own good too, will 
prolly need to do it properly at some point.

Thnx

Ian
