I have a handful of Eclipse plugins that I maintain. They are proving useful enough that non Eclipse users have asked for them without the overhead of a full eclipse install.

I thought that creating and scheduling multiple Jobs would actually cause multiple worker threads to be created, executing the Jobs in parallel unless there was an ISchedulingRule conflict. I went back and read the documentation more closely, and also discove...

We are planning on building a Java UI to test server functiona...
