public abstract class BackgroundCommand
extends java.lang.Object
implements Command

Abstract command that will be run in a thread (in the background) other than the AWT(GUI) thread. Use this to apply a long running command that is interruptable. The monitor allows the command to display status information as it executes. This allows commands to make changes in the background so that the GUI is not frozen and the user can still interact with the GUI.
