Parameters:

jobDisplay - Display. The display to run the job with.

name - String

WorkbenchJob

public WorkbenchJob(String name)

Add a new instance of the receiver with the supplied name.

Parameters:

Method Details

performDone

public void performDone(IJobChangeEvent event)

Perform done with the supplied event. This will only occur if the returned status was OK. This is called only if the job is finished with an IStatus.OK result and the workbench is still running.

Parameters:

event - IJobChangeEvent

shouldSchedule

public boolean shouldSchedule()

Description copied from class: Job

Returns whether this job should be scheduled. If false is returned, this job will be discarded by the job manager without being added to the queue.

This method is called immediately prior to adding the job to the waiting job queue.,so it can be used for last minute precondition checking before a job is scheduled.

Clients may override this method. This default implementation always returns true.

Overrides:

shouldSchedule in class Job

Returns:

true if the job manager should schedule this job and false otherwise

shouldRun

public boolean shouldRun()

Description copied from class: Job

Returns whether this job should be run. If false is returned, this job will be discarded by the job manager without running.

This method is called immediately prior to calling the job's run method, so it can be used for last minute precondition checking before a job is run. This method must not attempt to schedule or change the state of any other job.

Clients may override this method. This default implementation always returns true.

Overrides:

shouldRun in class Job

Returns:

true if this job should be run and false otherwise
