Splash progress bar for early initialization [message #449435]

Hi,

my rcp app uses spring and hibernate for database
access, both in their own plugins. On startup of
the application I need the user to login. The login
dialog has to be presented to the user before the
workbench itself gets started via PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench
because I've to relocate the workbench instance location
depending on the username.

The login process requires spring and hibernate
to be initialized, which could take quite some
time. I'd like to show some messages in the
splash screen progress bar while initializing
spring, but the progress bar doesn't exist until
the workbench itself gets started. This is far
too late for my purposes.

Any idea how I can make the progress bar appear
before the workbench starts and how I can display
my own messages into it?

Thanks,
Axel

Have a look at org.eclipse.ui.internal.StartupProgressMonitor. You might
want to enter an enhancement request against Platform/UI to provide API for
custom startup progress reporting.

That got it working for me, thank you. I just created my own
copy of the StartupProgressMonitor and started using this at
application startup time. An offical API would be fine nonetheless.
