Forcing start of a plugin [message #437034]

Hi there,

is there a way to force the start of a plugin.
My plugin is resolved but not activated when I test it.
Adding a bundle header 'Eclipse-AutoStart: true' is not enought.

Thanks
Markus Wolf

One questions comes to my mind when I implemented the IStartup interface.
Why does it depends on org.eclipse.ui? With that I get a dependency on
ui plugins and jface.
This is just bad for my case, because I want to use eclipse in a
headless environment and it makes no sense to that IStartup is needing a
graphical user interface. *confused*

Can anyone clear my mind on this?

Regards

I am not sure why did that...

But, I can give you the following idea to do that...if you always want the
plug-in to be loaded at start up,

1) create a dummy class in the plug-in that has to be loaded at start up.
2) have your RCP plugin create an instace of this dummy class.

or call Plugin.getDefault() in window advisor
or see Eclipse-AutoStart directive in MANIFEST.MF

That's a good idea. Thanks. :-)

btw. Just setting Eclipse-AutoStart to true is not enought.

there is Platform.getPlugin(), but loading plugin on startup isn't good idea

I know. I also know about lazy loading, start-up time and everything
else. But sometimes it is just neccessary.
