Intercepting the workbench thread before loading [message #435298]

I'm using a startup plugin to popup a dialog at the starup of the
workbench launch. Based on the selection of this dialog, I want to load
(show) the workbench or not. The workbench right now is showing up any how
so that's one of my problem. How can I stop the UI (workbench) from coming
up while the dialog (MessageDialog) is running waiting for a selection
from the user? and how do I gracefully shutdown or close anything that has
been loaded in the background?

Thanks...

Richiez,

Look into
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2005/presentations/EclipseCon2005_ Tutorial26Final.pdf

at slide # 106/107. This might help you - it describes how authentication
can be implemented on startup.

Since in RCP you are in charge of showing the workbench, why don't you
do something in your application's main (ie: the class that implements
the org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications extension point).
