create a part from a PartDescriptor before the Window is shown [message #1695115]

I would like to modify my workbench programatically before the window is created. The main problem I currently experience is creating a part from a part descriptor and put it into a placeholder before the window is opened.
When trying to do this with the EPartService I always get the "Application does not have an active window" since no window is yet created.

What is the best way to make sure my part is shown as soon as the window is opened?
I already tried to get notified via the EventBroker ("@UIEventTopic(UIEvents.UILifeCycle.BRINGTOTOP) Event event") but no events arrive. I also tried using a Processor and a Lifecycle handler but I so far failed to find an annotation that gets called when the window is opened.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to register for the UIEvent APP_STARTUP_COMPLETED

Thank you Dirk, that was exactly what I was looking for.

For anybody looking for similar Annotations:
have a look at the constants defined in

org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.UIEvents.UILifeCycle
