Hello,

I would like to add a Shell listener to my app (full E4), to be notified when the main shell is activated and deactivated.

When is the first/best moment when this is possible?

I have a class that is linked to the lifeCycleURI of my product, but its @PostContruct method is called before any shell is created.

An addon is called to early, too.

Obviously, the Activator is also called to early.

Can anybody help? Thanks! Smile

EDIT: to make thinks clearer: I used to have an WorkbenchWindowAdvisor, whose method postWindowCreate() was perfect for this job. Is there something similar in E4?
