ProgressMonitorDialog is a user blocking dialog and the generation can be quite long. I would like to do other things within my workbench while EEF is generating. So please generate with a background Job (a user one if you want to display a progress dialog with an "run in background" option).

Here is a snippet to help you start over (taken from http://eclipse-tips.com/how-to-guides/4-progress-bars-in-eclipse-ui)

Job job = new Job("My new job") {
     @Override
     protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
         monitor.beginTask("Some nice progress message here ...", 100);
         // execute the task ...
         monitor.done();
         return Status.OK_STATUS;
     }
 };
job.setUser(true)
job.schedule();
