[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] using IAdapterManager.getAdapter() at plugin

[Gabriel Bermudez <elgabo81@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

It seems that is not possible to use the IAdapterManager.getAdapter() at 
a plugin startup, that is calling it from the plugin's 
Activator.startup() method.  When do the IAdapterFactories get 
registered? after the plugin's startup? What I tried to do is the following:

Activator.java

public class Activator ... {
private Model model;
...
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
	super.start(context);
	this.model=new Model();
	plugin = this;
}
...
public Model getModel(){return this.model;}
}

the Model constructor internally does a 
Platform.getAdapterManager().getAdapter() but this only returns null. I 
thought all my plugin's IAdapterFactories would be registered after 
calling super.start() Is this normal or I'm missing something?  Is there 
a workaround other than manually registering my factories to the adapter 
manager?

Thanks for your help.
