IAsyncTask Interface

public interface IAsyncTask

Represents a task that can be performed in the background while the IDE is running. These can be performed by adding them to the AsyncTaskSvc's queue.

Each task consists of two parts. The first part is run on a background thread. This should be the time consuming or variable length part of the task. The second part is run on the foreground (AWT) thread. This should integrate the results of the background computations into the UI.
