Usually it is better to state what you are trying to accomplish instead of
asking how to accomplish something concrete, because the concrete thing you want
to do might not be possible, but there might be other solutions to your problem,
which are more suitable. The other problem is that I can suggest a way to do
this, but it serves no purpose to you, because you want different event. Let me
suggest some:

1) shell close event
2) menu item listener (if you are able to get access to the menu, through the shell)
3) using org.eclipse.ui.IWindowListener you will be notified when
IWorkbenchWindows are closed

There might be other ways, which I'm not aware currently of. But the best
solution to your problem you can get if you describe what you are trying to
accomplish.

P.S.
eRCP newsgroup has moved to eclipse.ercp. I'm copying this thread over.

Thanks to Matthias & Danail.

I want to listen the CLOSE event because, if the user closes the
workbench/application unknowingly it will immediately close. I just want
to raise a confirm message, so the user can know the application is
closing and save the unsaved data if any or just cancel the close.

How can I do this?

Thanks to the great support.
