Hi,
I want my plugin to open some editor during Eclipse startup (based on
command line arguments), so I registered a class using
org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point. The problem is that although
PlatformUI.getWorkbench() returns a workbench in earlyStartup() method,
workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow() returns null (no window has been
created yet). Thus I cannot use IWorkbenchPage.openEditor() method to
open the editor. So what is the right way to execute the code after the
workbench is completely restored?
Any help would be appreciated.
Michal

Thanks!
The plugin will open an editor only if it is instructed to do so with
command line arguments. On the other hand editors are often opened at
startup as part of workbench restoration and I find it useful rather
than irritating :)
