To use IStartup, you also need to supply an extension in Eclipse, goto
the plugin.xml, extensions tab, and add a org.eclipse.ui.startup
extension that points to your class.

Probably it's very late for reply but then this thread help me out and I want to provide the solution as well which might help someone else in future Wink

The reason the dialog box is not showing up is because the shell window which you have created is NULL.

We need to get the Workbench shell handle first and then create the dialog box.

Example to get the Workbench shell handle - http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fapi%2Forg%2Feclipse%2Fui%2FIStartup.html

Example for creating Username/Password dialog box - http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseDialogs/article.html
