In the 3.x world, we have code in a runUI() method that creates the
splash handler, an "init" thread that's allowed to post asyncExecs
that will run (more or less), and spins the event loop while
initializing the workbench in the init thread.
In e4, we would need equivalent code in
org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.internal.PartRenderingEngine.run(MApplicationElement,
IEclipseContext) so that the model could be created/initialized and
the GUI created all while displaying the splash and spinning the event
loop.
AFAIK we will continue to use the splash handler (with enough
modifications to make it e4 friendly). But no one has looked at this
yet.
