Thanks for your answer, I never thought of the WorkbenchWindowAdvisor. 
However, I don't think I can check for errors there because I need to have 
this check before I start a Spring applicationContext. That context is 
started inside the Activator so that it is available in the login splash. 
And if certain conditions aren't met, the context won't start.

So I thought that maybe I could do something like Eclipse: end the splash 
and then display a popup window...
