- Method Detail
  - getSchedulingRule
```
ISchedulingRule getSchedulingRule()
```
    Gives the caller a hint whether this operation will acquire a rule to proceed in the current thread. If a ISchedulingRule is returned the caller should call IJobManager.beginRule(ISchedulingRule, IProgressMonitor) before and IJobManager.endRule(ISchedulingRule) after the operation.
    
    Returns:
    
    an ISchedulingRule that the operation will acquire in the current thread - if any. Returns null if no rule needed - in that case the caller should not call beginRule or endRule. As this method returns only a hint the operation can not assume that the caller already acquired the rule. The operation still has to acquire it - which will lead to a nested rule.
