When is workbench Initialization completed? [message #122670]

I have an application using the Workbench Window with top level menus.
The menus and menu-items are contributed through a plugin with extension
to "actionSet" extension-point.

My question is, what is the last method called by the Eclipse Runtime
System in its sequence of loading plugins and performing initializations?
Just like the overriden startup() method of our Plugin subclass is
guaranteed to be called when inititializing and shutdown() is guarateed
during exit, is there a way to know when all initialization is completed?

I would like to notify my application user that it is "ready and open for
business" after I am sure all initializations have finished.

Also, does the runtime load the various plugins in multiple threads? In
what sequence does it resolve dependencies and extensions?

any help would be appreciated.

One way of doing this is to extend the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension
point.
Your plugin has to implement IStartup and will be called once the entire
platform is loaded. This is the right point to declare readiness for
business.

Thanks Chris, yes that does help. My plugin implements IStartup and the
earlyStartup() method is where I put my post-initialization code to
indicate readiness to the user.
