It is possible to associate arbitrary properties with a Job, which can be used to present its progress in different ways. For example, by specifying a command it's possible to click on a running Job and then execute something in the user interface, such as a detailed job description. Job properties are set with setProperty(), and can include any key/value combination. The keys use a QualifiedName, which is like a pair of strings for namespace/value. In the case of the Progress view, there is an IProgressConstants2 interface, which defines values that can be set, including COMMAND_PROPERTY, which can be used to invoke a command.
