How to run multiple java runtime jobs and wait for all of them to finish?

Question

I have this code to run a job with a progress bar in java:

private void createNewJobRun(final int i) {
    Job job = new Job("Experiment " //$NON-NLS-1$
            + getName()) {
        @Override
        protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {

            monitor.beginTask("Experiment is running ...", 100); //$NON-NLS-1$
            //call here my own functions that to the actual work

            monitor.done();
            return Status.OK_STATUS;
        }
    };
    job.schedule();



}

The problem is that I want to call this function many times but only the first job runs and the others are almost simultaneously started but I never see their results...Although their progress monitor is shown. How do I wait for all of them to finish in some way or the problem is something else?

Answer 1

At First, you must make your own Class which is a subclass from Callable.

In this class you override the call method and do the things you do in createNewJobRun.

Now you must create a FutureTask (that is executed in a Thread to make your Job and get a result).

Example: Look at this link (at the heading FutureTask <V> )
