Hi,
I have a RCP application which uses a GMF diagram. I have an annoying
waiting time when I create the first diagram.
I would like to know how to preload my plugins at startup to avoid this
loading time.

I have already try to implement the IStartup interface and all but I
don't succeed to have the expected behavior.

Thanks for your help.

Hello Romain,

I think. the problem is: you are loading/activating all the plugins on startup,
but in addition you have to load/initialize all the registries used across
these plugins. In other words, simply activating the plugin on startup will
not help you.. AFAIK there is not easy way to perform full initialization
of GMF plugins on startup by default.. I can suggest you creating new diagram
headlessly to warm it up..

I've try this solution but I didn't succeed to do it.
What kind of operation could be called and when ?

Thanks for the help.

I think you have to create instance of IDiagramGraphicalViewer and let it
display a diagram (without drawing anything on a display itself).
You can use org.eclipse.gmf.tests/org.eclipse.gmf.tests.setup.RuntimeBas edGeneratorConfiguration.FakeViewer
as an example.
