Eclipse and progress monitors - the old and the new story

Eclipse Progress Monitors - the old and the new story

For a long time, there was an solid article about how to use progress monitors which was what you got when you googled for info about the topic. Now, the old article is replace by a new version. We can argue about whether one is better than the other, but IMHO the key issue is that they describe different approaches, in where the older article can actually help you where your maintaining older code. So, here's both (thanks to the web archive):

Old article:  How to Correctly and Uniformly Use Progress Monitors

New article: Using Progress Monitors

Happy coding - keep up the progress - maybe there's someone monitoring it...
