Summary
This chapter covered how user interfaces respond to user input, by defining menus associated with abstract commands that are associated with handlers to execute code. It also covered how to run code in the background with jobs, and report the errors via the standard error reporting mechanism.
The next chapter will look at how to store preferences so that configuration items can be kept between restarts of the Eclipse platform.
