/**
 * The <code>IProgressMonitor</code> interface is implemented
 * by objects that monitor the progress of an activity; the methods
 * in this interface are invoked by code that performs the activity.
 * <p>
 * All activity is broken down into a linear sequence of tasks against
 * which progress is reported. When a task begins, a <code>beginTask(String, int)
 * </code> notification is reported, followed by any number and mixture of 
 * progress reports (<code>worked()</code>) and subtask notifications 
 * (<code>subTask(String)</code>).  When the task is eventually completed, a 
 * <code>done()</code> notification is reported.  After the <code>done()</code>
 * notification, the progress monitor cannot be reused;  i.e., <code>
 * beginTask(String, int)</code> cannot be called again after the call to 
 * <code>done()</code>.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * A request to cancel an operation can be signaled using the 
 * <code>setCanceled</code> method.  Operations taking a progress
 * monitor are expected to poll the monitor (using <code>isCanceled</code>)
 * periodically and abort at their earliest convenience.  Operation can however 
 * choose to ignore cancelation requests.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Since notification is synchronous with the activity itself, the listener should 
 * provide a fast and robust implementation. If the handling of notifications would 
 * involve blocking operations, or operations which might throw uncaught exceptions, 
 * the notifications should be queued, and the actual processing deferred (or perhaps
 * delegated to a separate thread).
 * </p>
