How to switch from runProcessWithProgressSynchronously to runProcessWithProgressAsynchronously?

One of my plugins which updates project is using runProcessWithProgressSynchronously(). Problem with this is: progress indicator is a modal dialog, blocking user from doing any operation on other intellij windows. Is there a way to invoke this progress indicator as non-modal dialog?

Hello,

ProgressManager.getInstance().run(new Task.Backgroundable(...) {
    public void run() {
        ...
    }
});

I tried that, but getting following exception: [a bit background on the plugin: this plugin updates intellij project files like: .iml and we are displaying progress using modal dialog box and this modal blocks all other windows of IntelliJ].

Here is the exception: Any idea on how to fix this?

Read access is allowed from event dispatch thread or inside read-action only (see com.intellij.openapi.application.Application.runReadAction())

Exception message contains the answer. You didn't have the exception before because Event Dispatch Thread has read access implicitly. See more at http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/IDEADEV/IntelliJ+IDEA+Architectural+Overview
