[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Running plugin during Eclipse startup

["Jim Tomlinson" <jtomlins@xxxxxxx>]

You need to extend the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point, implementing 
org.eclipse.ui.IStartup.

You'll want to keep your footprint small if you're doing this, as you'll be 
loaded on every startup. If you need to do a lot of work, put that logic in 
another plugin (that extends an extension point defined in your startup 
plugin) that your startup plugin can load via createExecutableExtension() if 
it's required.
