| <h1> Responsive UI</h1> |
| <P CLASS="Para">While some operations automatically run in the background (such |
| as auto build), in many cases a dialog will be displayed providing you with |
| the option to run an operation in the background. For example, building a project |
| manually can sometimes take more than a few minutes, during which time you may |
| wish to continue to use other functions in Eclipse.</p> |
| <P CLASS="Para"><img src="../images/res.png" alt="Image of the Build All Menu Item." border="0" > </p> |
| <p>While the project is being built, select <strong>Run in Background </strong>from |
| the <strong>Building Workspace</strong> dialog and the Responsive UI will allow |
| you to carry on with other tasks in Eclipse.</p> |
| <p><img src="../images/res_build.png" alt="Image of the Building Workspace window" border="0" ></p> |
| <p>For information on the status of the action and additional operations that |
| are currently running, click <strong>Details</strong>. |
| The <strong>Details </strong>panel displays the status information of the operation |
| at hand as well as any additional operations that may be running simultaneously.</P> |
| <p><img src="../images/res_otherjobs.png" alt="Image of the Building Workspace window with the Details showing simultaneous operations" border="0" ></P> |
| <p>The Progress Information dialog also indicates when one operation is being |
| blocked by another. </P> |
| <p><img src="../images/res_blocked.png" alt="Image of Progress Information view with an operation that is waiting for another to complete." border="0" ></P> |
| <p>Information about operations that are currently running in the background may also be |
| accessed at any time using the <strong>Progress View</strong>.</p> |
| <p><img src="../images/res_details.png" alt="Image of the Progress View showing the Building Workspace operation running" border="0" ></p> |
| <p>To have operations running in the background set as the default, open the <strong>General</strong> preference page and check the <strong>Always run in background</strong> checkbox. |
