Hello,

I want to load some specific data/preferences for my e4 application without compatibility to 3.x. I took this class from a standard java application i created. It's a singleton config class with several classes that store data for specified parts of my application.

Now I have the problem when to load/create my configuration class to get access to the values when the application starts.

Do I have to create an OSGI service for this or is there somewhere the possibility to control it manually within some kind of main method as in a standard app.

Greetings
Johannes

You can provide a lifecycle POJO and put your startup code in a method annotated @PostContextCreate in which you can have the application context injected. Something like @PostContextCreate public void setUp(IEclipseContext){..}
