Can eclipse notify me when a task has finished running?

Viewed 2750

I am often stuck twiddling my thumbs for a couple minutes while eclipse cleans, builds, or loads my projects. It would be nice if eclipse could notify me with a beep when the last task in the Progress view has finished running, so I can stop reading the internet and get back to work. Is there a setting or plugin that does this?

Edit: I tried adapting the plugin template that nonty provided below, which adds a listener to the JobManager. I tried implementing done() to beep only when the job change event's name contains "Building workspace," as that is the task that usually takes the longest in my setup. Exasperatingly, the task that builds the workspace never sends a done() call, just scheduled() and aboutToRun() calls. Any other ideas?
