It is not allowed to access any DWT function from a thread that is not 
the "GUI thread". The calls to MessageBox in the thread might throw 
exception, because they detect an illegal thread access.

To solve this, there is Display.syncExec and asyncExec.

Display.getCurrent().syncExec( dgRunnable({
                MessageBox messageBox0 = new 
MessageBox(DWT.OK|DWT.ICON_INFORMATION);
                messageBox0.setText("Done");
                messageBox0.setMessage(sprint0("{} Lines", int_lines));
                messageBox0.open();

}));
