Hi,

my application needs to kick off event at regular intervals ( say daily
or weekly ).. is there any way to
do this?

The EPP project's Usage Data Collector (http://www.eclipse.org/epp/usagedata/) does something like that; it periodically uploads usage data on a user-configured schedule.
There are links to view or get the source code on that web page, and the newsgroup to ask questions about it is eclipse.technology.packaging (where EPP questions, in general, belong).


If that does not provide any help, I'd take a look at the Quartz framework: http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/ - I've used that several times, though not in an Eclipse plugin or RCP app.

Hope this helps,
Eric
