public abstract class AbstractEMFStoreUIController<T>
extends MonitoredEMFStoreAction<T>

Abstract UI controller class. UI controllers are responsible for calling the controllers that do the actual work and handle UI related aspects of executing them. This might be, opening some information dialogs as well as handling exceptions thrown by the controllers. The action executed by a controller may either be run in the UI thread or get executed in its own thread. If the controller's action should be executed in its own thread clients need to wrap all UI calls with RunInUIThread or RunInUI.runWithResult(java.util.concurrent.Callable) to avoid invalid thread access exceptions.
