Bug 271089

Comment 1 Rüdiger Herrmann 2009-04-03 05:48:22 EDT

Not sure if this will make it into 1.2
But from what I understand, it should be easy to work around the missing method in both RCP and RAP:
    final Thread syncThread = Thread.currentThread();
    display.syncExec( new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        System.out.println( "syncThread: " + syncThread );
        // do something in UI thread
      }
    } );

Indeed it's easy.

However in my case I have to check Jobs in JobManager and take decisions if a job is locked on UIThread.

I don't quite understand. Does that mean that the proposed workaround doesn't
work for you? If so, why?
The actual getSyncThread() implementation wouldn't do differently.

The proposed workaround is not applicable to my case.

   final Job [] jobs = jobManager.find(connection);
   for (Job job : jobs)
   {
       final Thread thread = job.getThread();

       if (thread != null
           && thread == currentDisplay.getSyncThread())
       {
             // job is currently running and is locking the currentDisplay
       }
   }

I don't argue.
