I am working on a plugin that needs to do a lot of work on startup. I
would like that to happen in a background job, I can't seem to find the
right time to start the job. If I start it from Plugin.start(), it
appears to start immediately and slow down the loading of the rest of
the system, making it close to unresponsive until the job finishes. I
want the job to start after the system has been completely loaded and is
ready to be used, similar to how the Java plugin builds projects on
startup. How do I do that?
Thanks,
Christian
