SWT WizardDialog not showing in TaskBar

I am creating a WizardDialog as follows in a command line application

final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
Wizard wiz = new ImportWizard();
WizardDialog dialog = new WizardDialog(shell, wiz);
dialog.create();
dialog.open();

The wizard dialog does show. But it does not show up in Taskbar. I also tried

shell.setVisible(true);
dialog.open();

This got the Shell to show up in the taskbar, but the shell window was visible behind the wizard.

How I can resolve this?

I was able to solve this using the following snippet

Wizard wiz = new ImportWizard();
WizardDialog dialog = new WizardDialog(null, wiz);
dialog.create();
dialog.open();

By passing null as Shell in the WizardDialog constructor.

I might assume, that the reason for such behavior is that WizardDialog class has only constructor to provide Shell, which in the end (in Dialog class) uses SameShellProvider as a shell provider. You need to inherit from something, where you can pass your own IShellProvider, for instance TrayDialog (or some other suitable class).
