Own messages in the splash screen [message #489316] |

I have a small RCP application consisting in several plug-ins.
When each plug-in is loaded I want to add a message along with the progress bar displayed in the splash screen. Similar with the messages I see when my Eclipse IDE is starting.
Do I have to use a particular extension point for this? Or is there a messages service I need to register my plug-in's to it in order to display those messages?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Andrew
Thank you for your reply.
I already implement the org.eclipse.ui.splashHandlers in one of the plugins (so it wouldn't be a problem to add it to all the plugins).
I was able to customize the color of the progress bar and the color of the text as well as the position of the text.
My splash handler class is extending BasicSplashHandler and not EclipseSplashHandler.
I looked now at the code of the EclipseSplashHandler but I did not found any public or protected method to set the message. Nor any method to set the time when the message is displayed. I saw that the text message is written using a plain drawText() method and this can be easily duplicated.
But what I do not know is when the splash handler code is called. Is there a order of executing the extension points implemented by a plug-in?
