I want to develop an Eclipse plugin where it would be started once an error event is triggered in the IDE. Is it possible to start up a plugin by an event? And if so where should I subscribe as an event listener??

You must first start your bundle early and then, from its start() method, register a log listener, see
org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform.addLogListener(ILogListener). Don't foget to unregister your listener in the bundle's
stop() method.
