Ability to check when a mutex is owned and be notified when available. I've heard comments that the UI can block on exclusive mutex for example when one wants to display source structure of a java file and meanwhile another thread updates a database somewhere. Imho there should be a way how to check without blocking whether the mutex is available and if not display just "Please wait..." and fill the structures later. Submitter is going to fix all places where AWT calls blocking operation (using RequestProcessor). (TCR)
to correct myself - all places need to be analyzed and in the case where AWT is knowingly calling MDR should be listed with explanation
Changing to TASK since this is an umbrella - individual occurences of the issue are filed separately.
Fixed.
