Question

I have a java code that looks like this:

//UI thread
//Some code
Job j = new Job(jobName) {

@Override
public IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
try {
                    //Some code
                    SomeFunc();
                    //Some code
                    return Status.OK_STATUS;

    } catch(Exception e) {
    }
    finally {
    }
}
};
j.schedule();

The problem is that the SomeFunc(); must be called from the UI thread.

I’m new to java, so can you please help me with showing the best methods for posting event to UI thread or calling a function of UI thread?

Its worth having a look at the Eclipse Jobs and Background Processing tutorial by Lars Vogel. There are good examples on how to run code on the UI thread from Eclipse Jobs.
