Re: [e4-dev] Fwd: How to correctly set up another LifeCycleHandler

[Ben <ml@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Paul!

Sadly I don't understand how to "initialize" those addons correctly (the addon is a separate plugin). I've added the annotation like you suggested, but the method is never called. So it seems I've tell E4 somehow when or how to load it. I've added the annotation to method in a separate class that is only used as a "initializer". Do I've to add it to a class that is initialized in another plugin that depends on my addon?

If so, how is this handled when there are more then one plugins depending on my addon, does everyone has to instantiate a class (or call an init method) as it can't know if the addon is initialized properly.. 

Thanks for your help!

The lifecycle handler is designed for there to be on per application.

You probably want to create one or more add ons.  They can do setup in their @PostConstruct method, and have access to the MApplication and the application IEclipseContext.  ex:

@PostConstruct
public void init(IEclipseContext context) {
