public abstract class BackgroundCommand<T extends DomainObject> extends Object implements Command<T>
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 cancellable.

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.
