Getting the application Shell at start? [message #1008646] Wed, 13 February 2013 07:09 Go to next message

I have the following problem:
when the application Shell is closed by using the close button in the upper right corner - my app data are not fully persisted.

I would like to solve it, by handling the close events of the SWT Shell.

Question:

What would be the right place to hook in for getting the application Shell?



I tried to use Lifecycle - it seems to be too early, since Shell is not available in @PostConstruct.

I registered for IEventManager UIEvents.UILifeCycle.BRINGTOTOP events - it was not triggered.

This seems to be related to the lifecycle of the workspace.
If you have your own application, use org.eclipse.ui.application.WorkbenchAdvisor and extend this.

There's no such class involved in pure e4 apps!

This pointer is wrong because the e4 style lifecycles are something completely different from 3.x style LC management and if I got it right the original question is about an e4 app.

I just wanted to enforce this in order to not confuse others who might have the same issue.
