Description Sebastien Dubois CLA 2011-09-14 18:00:08 EDT 
Currently, when a report is gnenerated, there is no feedback that work is being done, until it is completed and the report opens up in the editor panel.  There is no progress bar, eclipse job dialog etc.  This is really confusing to users who might wonder what is going on.

This should be changed to behave like the FindReviewItems command i.e. the report generation should be done in the non-UI thread.  Also report generation and report diaply should be seprated at the Interface level so that the UI plugin can call them separately.  Finally, if possible, the report plugin should not interact with the UI and UI Thread at all (e.g. to display the generated report).  This should be done by the UI plugin itself
