Hi,

Because I'm working on quite big models, I realize that Eclipse UI is frozen when the MoDisco Model Browser is opening them.

Could the UI not be frozen ? And some sort of progress bar added while opening a model ?

UI frozen results in a bad user experience, we should be able to know whether Eclipse is not responding or just taking some time to load the big resource.

Regards

Nicolas

I already tried to add a progress bar, but unfortunately EMF doesn't seem to allow to follow the progress of loading a resource.

As for the freezing, it should be possible to open an empty editor, load the model in another thread, and populate the editor when it's done.

Since this bug is really two separate bugs, I created Bug 325120 to follow the freezing issue, while this bug will continue to track the progress bar request.
