Hi,

I am making plug-in which needs to create menu items dynamically at eclipse
startup.

Can anyone tell me how can I make plug-in that runs at eclipse startup?

Thanks, Marko.

It may be a good idea to share what solution you found :)

Anyway, I think it is the implementation of:

---
org.eclipse.ui.IStartup

Plugins that register a startup extension will be activated after the
Workbench initializes and
have an opportunity to run code that can't be implemented using the normal
contribution
mechanisms.
---

There is a caveat though. The user may explicitly ask to not start the
plug-in using the
Workbench:Startup preference.

Another caveat is that you really should think again about doing this.
Each startup hook will just make start up take longer. Most of the time
it is not really necessary.
