Method Detail

execute

boolean execute(org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor monitor)
                throws java.lang.Throwable

Executes this module. Execution the module may in fact consist of multiple steps, e.g. the module may ask the (TBL) client to enter a value. In this case the execution engine must interrupt and wait for a client response. To support this, this module should maintain a state object and implementations may add extra functions for the other steps.

Parameters:

monitor - the progress monitor

Returns:

true if the execution was not fully completed yet

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable - typically InterruptedException or an error message
