earlystartup() does not work [message #847276]

I downloaded a fresh eclipse IDE (Java EE IDE for Web developers - Indigo Service Release 2). I created a plug-in project where I added extension, org.eclipse.ui.startup. Then I created a package wherein I created a class that extends IStartup. In the earlystartup() method I inserted a code for creating a file as given below.

try{
// Create file
FileWriter fstream = new FileWriter("c:/temp/outout.txt");
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fstream);
out.write("Hello Java");
//Close the output stream
out.close();
}catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}

Moreover I unchecked "Activate this plug-in when one of its classes is loaded" checkbox.
And in the plugin.xml file added the "startup class" element.

I restarted the eclipse hoping that a file will be created but nothing happens.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Two items come into my mind:

a) Have you also provided a "startup" plugin element? The extension
point description says that this is deprecated and works only together
with the runtime compatibility bundle. I wouldn't count on that, so
ensure that the element is provided.

b) The extension point org.eclipse.ui.startup is considered as a
non-binding request, because users can prevent this startup to take
place via the preferences. Search for "startup and shutdown" in the
preferences.

Here I meant: It is deprecated *not* to provide this element.

Thanks Daniel Krügler for the reply.
Yes I have included startup element.

I am getting the following exception when the eclipse is restarted. Could it be a reason why early startup does not work?

You meant earlyStartup(), right?
