I was wondering if there is any way to automatically load a plugin when
eclipse starts? I want to know since I am trying to make a daytimer
plugin that will check every x minutes to see if u have an appointment in
the near future, so I want to make sure that it starts right when eclipse
starts, even if the view isn't open. What I want is something similar to
a daemon in linux

thanks
Shawn

See the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point and the
org.eclipse.ui.IStartup interface
