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

[Paul Keyser <rolarenfan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had a similar problem in initializing some config data (w/ no user interaction), but that 
"early startup" is not early enough, as it occurs *after* the EditorManager runs -- an my editors 
need the config data in order to open.

Currently I have several places that lazily init the config data (including in the editor's set 
input method), but I'm experimenting with using the start() method of thebundle-activator, which 
gets called earlier.

If I get anywhere, I'll post it here; likewise, if you have ideas that might be helpful to me, let 
me know!

thanks,
Paul
