+ * Interface for UI components which can execute a long-running operation
+ * in the form of an <code>IRunnableWithProgress</code>.
+ * The context is responsible for displaying a progress indicator and Cancel
+ * button to the end user while the operation is in progress; the context
+ * supplies a progress monitor to be used from code running inside the operation.
+ * Note that an <code>IRunnableContext</code> is not a runnable itself.
+ * <p>
+ * For examples of UI components which implement this interface,
+ * see <code>ApplicationWindow</code>, <code>ProgressMonitorDialog</code>,
+ * and <code>WizardDialog</code>.
