                 Key: UDIG-1018
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1018
             Project: uDIG
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: API render
    Affects Versions: UDIG 1.1.RC4
            Reporter: Jesse Eichar
         Assigned To: Jesse Eichar
             Fix For: UDIG 1.1.RC5


Does the user really need progress of each layer rendering? Especially when
dozen of layers is on the map and rendering itself is time consuming task.
Updating status message, etc takes UI thread time.. There is a one composite
rendering thread that can be a "user" job and report whether rendering is
going on.

The same situation with layer status decorations. I would like to have an
option to switch off rendering progress decoration.  stupid endless blinking
effects in Layers view. Lets make a rendering itself stable with good
architecture, then decoration. Question of priorities and concentrating on
really important and critical things.


Ideas,

- All renderers except Composite can be system Jobs so only Composite updates.
- only WMS will set state on Iayer for waiting since it doesn't auto update
