Just overloading initializeBounds() method in your class, like this:

protected void initializeBounds()
{
super.initializeBounds();
Shell shell = this.getShell();
Monitor primary = shell.getMonitor();
Rectangle bounds = primary.getBounds ();
Rectangle rect = shell.getBounds ();
int x = bounds.x + (bounds.width - rect.width) / 2;
int y = bounds.y + (bounds.height - rect.height) / 2;
shell.setLocation (x, y);
}

hope it can help :)

JFace Window already does something like this in:

protected Point getInitialLocation(Point initialSize)

In any case, if you want change location, it is better override this
method, not initializeBounds().
