Description Archimedes Trajano

Is it possible to make Eclipse "beep" after a long "Progress Infromation" 
window gets displayed?

Is there a way to do it through existing extension points?

I don't think beeping is a good idea, but it may be helpful to add hooks to 
the progress monitoring infrastructure to enable plugins to get notified when 
an operation completes.

I agree with providing hooks for it.  Perhaps add something like 
IWorkbench.addDialogListener(IDialogListener) 

IDialogListener can have the following methods

dialogOpened(Dialog e);
dialogClosed(Dialog d, Object closeValue);

closeValue can be canceled, ok, yes, no, etc.

This is part of a general set of questions about a good way to inform the user 
of the end of operations - currently they have to check the status line or the 
progress view.

We now have a progress indicator which shows when something is going on and 
finished when it is done. If you want more details we have a floating window 
too.
