Hello,
I am deploying my RCP app with Java Web start. When a user clicks the link to launch the RCP app it launches it in the background. I want it to be launched in front of all the open applications i.e. it should get the focus. I tried this:
In WorkbenchAdvisor.postStartup(){
shell.setVisible(true);
shell.forceActive();
shell.setActive();
shell.setFocus();
shell.setMinimized(false);
}

But this is not working. Any idea ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Found the solution to it.
This is what you need to do
shell.setVisible(false);
shell.setMinimized(true);
shell.setVisible(true);
shell.setActive();
shell.setFocus();
shell.setMinimized(false);
Minimize and maximize it.
