/**
 * The <code>IRSERunnableWithProgress</code> interface should be implemented
 * by any class whose instances are intended to be executed as a long-running
 * operation. Long-running operations are typically presented at the UI via a
 * modal dialog showing a progress indicator and a Cancel button.
 *
 * This interface is derived from
 * <code>org.eclipse.jface.operation.IRunnableWithProgress</code>, but
 * brought into no-UI space. The class must define a <code>run</code> method
 * that takes a progress monitor. The <code>run</code> method is usually not
 * invoked directly, but rather by passing the
 * <code>IRunnableWithProgress</code> to the <code>run</code> method of an
 * <code>IRunnableContext</code>, which provides the UI for the progress
 * monitor and Cancel button.
 * <p>
 * <strong>EXPERIMENTAL</strong>. This class or interface has been added as
 * part of a work in progress. There is no guarantee that this API will work or
 * that it will remain the same. Please do not use this API without consulting
 * with the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/">Target Management</a>
