Startup Plugin [message #602279]

Hello,

I would like to deploy a plugin that prints some information to console on Eclipse startup.looking through the documentation I found that I had to override earlyStartup().

import org.eclipse.ui.IStartup;

public class CustomStartup implements IStartup {
@Override
public void earlyStartup() {
System.out.println("Booom");
}
}

But if I test this code from Manifest.MF->Overview it will not print in the new Eclipse application started but it will print in the Eclipse used for building the plugin.Also deploying the plugin doesn't seem to work.

Am I doing something wrong here?

System.out refers to the out stream of the Eclipse application. This is
why you see this in the original Eclipse rather than in the one you have
started. When you deploy the plugin, you can only see the message by
starting Eclipse using eclipsec.exe Then, you should see the message on
the command line where you started eclipse.

If you want the message to appear inside Eclipse, you may want to have a
look at Eclipse's own console classes.
