Class ProgressMonitor
 Using this class you can easily monitor tasks where you cannot
 estimate the duration exactly.
 
A ProgressMonitor instance waits until the first time setProgress
 is called. When 
millisToDecideToPopup time elapsed the
 instance estimates the duration until the whole operation is completed.
 If this duration exceeds 
millisToPopup a non-modal dialog
 with a message and a progress bar is shown.
 
The value of 
millisToDecideToPopup defaults to
 
500 and 
millisToPopup to
 
2000.
 void | close()-  Hides the dialog and stops any measurements.
 Has no effect when 
setProgress is not at least
 called once.
 
  | 
 AccessibleContext | getAccessibleContext()-  Gets the accessible context.
 
  | 
 int | getMaximum()-  Return the maximum or end value of your operation.
 
  | 
 int | getMillisToDecideToPopup()-  Returns the amount of milliseconds to wait
 until the ProgressMonitor should decide whether
 a progress dialog is to be shown or not.
 
  | 
 int | getMillisToPopup()-  Returns the number of milliseconds to wait before displaying the progress
 dialog.  
 
  | 
 int | getMinimum()-  Returns the minimum or start value of the operation.
 
  | 
 String | getNote()-  Returns a message which is shown in the progress dialog.
 
  | 
 boolean | isCanceled()-  Returns whether the user canceled the operation.
 
  | 
 void | setMaximum(int maximum)-  Sets the maximum or end value of the operation to the
 given integer.
 
  | 
 void | setMillisToDecideToPopup(int time)-  Sets the amount of milliseconds to wait until the
 ProgressMonitor should decide whether a progress dialog
 is to be shown or not.
 
  | 
 void | setMillisToPopup(int time)-  Sets the number of milliseconds to wait before displaying the progress
 dialog.
 
  | 
 void | setMinimum(int minimum)-  Use this method to set the minimum or start value of
 your operation.
 For typical application like copy operation this will be
 zero.
 Keep in mind that changing this value after the progress
 dialog is made visible has no effect upon the progress bar.
 
  | 
 void | setNote(String note)-  Set the message shown in the progess dialog.
 Changing the note while the progress dialog is visible
 is possible.
 
  | 
 void | setProgress(int progress)-  Updates the progress value.
 When called for the first time this initializes a timer
 which decides after 
millisToDecideToPopup time
 whether to show a progress dialog or not.
 If the progress value equals or exceeds the maximum
 value the progress dialog is closed automatically.

ProgressMonitor
public ProgressMonitor(Component component,
                       Object message,
                       String note,
                       int minimum,
                       int maximum) Creates a new ProgressMonitor instance.  This is used to
 monitor a task and pops up a dialog if the task is taking a long time to
 run.
component - The parent component of the progress dialog or
null.message - A constant message object which works in the way it does
in JOptionPane.note - A string message which can be changed while the operation goes
on.minimum - The minimum value for the operation (start value).maximum - The maximum value for the operation (end value).

setProgress is not at least
 called once.

 your operation.
 
For typical application like copy operation this will be
 zero.
 
Keep in mind that changing this value after the progress
 dialog is made visible has no effect upon the progress bar.
minimum - The new minimum value.
setNote
public void setNote(String note)
 Set the message shown in the progess dialog.
 
Changing the note while the progress dialog is visible
 is possible.
note - A message shown in the progress dialog.
