Hi

The equivalent to the main class in a RCP application is the class
implementing IApplication. But I assume you don't need to do anything
in here.

The tricky part seems to be the part that detects inacativity. It
depends a bit on how exactly the detection and the logout should
happen (is moving the mouse an activity? or only when the user runs
some command in the application? Should the logout occur automatically
after x minutes? or is it enough if the logout ocurs when he attempts
to do something after some time? ...).

Anyhow, if I were you, I'd look at the Jobs API [1]. It lets you create
a job that is run at a configurable frequency.

Closing the application [2]: Platform.getWorkbench().close;
