Closing all opened editors at the time of Eclipse launch [message #708744]

Hi,

I have designed an eclipse plugin. I want to close all editors athat were opened in the previous session at the time of launch. Since mine is a plugin project but is not an RCP application, i am not sure how and where do i override org.eclipse.ui.application.WorkbenchAdvisor.postStartup() method. I added following piece of code in start method of activator.

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchWindow[] windows = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getWorkbenchWindows();
for (IWorkbenchWindow iWorkbenchWindow : windows) {
if (iWorkbenchWindow.getActivePage() != null) {
break;
}
iWorkbenchWindow.close();
}
but this is of no use. I added above code to one of the methods of class implementing AbstractUIPlugin. It is closing all the editors at the time of eclipse luanch but throwd a NullPoiner Exception as well. Please fond the stack trace below:

No, this is how it is supposed to work.
