Eclipse Jobs API : Perform something when job is done

When we need to do something for example notify user or cleaup someting after a JOB is finished we can user the  JobChangeListener to accomplish this. see the folowing code:


     final Job job = new Job("Long Running Job") {
        protected IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
           try {
              while(hasMoreWorkToDo()) {
                 // do some work
                 // ...
              if (monitor.isCanceled()) return Status.CANCEL_STATUS;
             }
              return Status.OK_STATUS;
           } finally {
              schedule(60000); // start again in an hour
           }
        }
     };
  job.addJobChangeListener(new JobChangeAdapter() {
        public void done(IJobChangeEvent event) {
        if (event.getResult().isOK())
           postMessage("Job completed successfully");
           else
              postError("Job did not complete successfully");
        }
     });
  job.setSystem(true);
     job.schedule(); // start as soon as possible
