How to intercept main window creation? [message #1828105] Mon, 01 June 2020 20:11

I need to to do some job just after main window is created but parts are not created yet. How can I intercept this moment in application initialization process?

For example I have the only one part MyPart and some service MyService:
class MyPart {
  @PostConstruct
  void init( Composite aParent, MyService aService ) {
    // here is part content creation
  }
}

class MyService {
  private final Shell mainWindowShell;
  public MyService( Shell aMainWindowShell ) {
    mainWindowShell = aMainWindowShell;
  }
  public void maximizeMainWindow() {
    mainWindowShell.setMaximized( true );
  }
}


When part is created by MyPart.init(Composite,MyService) an instance of the MyService must exist. However call to MyServce constructor requires access to the main windows Shell.

I have MyService and other creation code like this:
class InTheMiddleOfNowhere {
  public void initMyServices( IEclipseContext aMainWindowContext ) {
    // init MyService
    MyService s = new MyService( aMainWindowContext.get( Shell.class );
    aMainWindowContext.set( MyService.class, s );
    // other services
  }
}

This service creation code mus be called after main window shell is created but before any part constructor is called. The question is how and which code have to call initMyServices(IEclipseContext) ? Maybe there is some event, or any interceptor or something else?
