[platform-ui-dev] Change to workbench lifecycle?

[Jared Burns <jared-eclipse@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a view (the good 'old EditorList) that references the active workbench 
page via PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage() 
inside the createPartControl(Composite) method. In recent builds, this call 
has started to always return null if the view is being created at startup.

Has the workbench lifecycle changed in some way such that there is no longer 
an active page during startup? Or is this just a bug?

Thanks,
- Jared
