Description Chris Gross CLA 2004-11-07 09:13:57 EST 
The Job's GUI logic seems to get confused if you create a custom workbench 
layout by overriding createWindowContents() in your WorkbenchAdvisor.  On some 
occasions you execute the job, but the Job's dialog does not appear (it is a 
user job).  The job also does not appear in the progress view.  Other times you 
get an NPE when scheduling the job:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.ui.internal.progress.ProgressManagerUtil.animateDown
(ProgressManagerUtil.java:304)
	at 
org.eclipse.ui.internal.progress.ProgressMonitorFocusJobDialog$1.widgetSelected
(ProgressMonitorFocusJobDialog.java:98)

In general, it seems like the Jobs GUI has not anticipated a custom workbench 
layout.
