We are implementing a business application in a pure Eclipse 4 environment.

We had to implement P2 Update and Language selection/switch. As the method restart no more exists on workbench , we had to solve it. The StartupLifecycleHandler is not the solution as it is a callback in starting the workbench.

I've written two blogs about our solution. If someone is interested...
P2 Update an restart: http://www.ipt.ch/de/blog/detail/eclipse-4-rich-client-applikationen-mit-p2-automatisch-aktualisieren/
Language selection/Language switch with restart: http://www.ipt.ch/de/blog/detail/sprachenwechsel-und-neustart-fuer-eclipse-4-rich-client-applikationen/

Sorry, it is in german but the code should be understundable for all.
Any comments are welcome.

In Eclipse4, there is an e4 IWorkbench class that has restart:
org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.IWorkbench.restart()

Thanks Paul, I've only seen the PlatformUI.getWorkbench().restart() thats's referencing the compatibility mode.
For the language switch we can use it. But for the other cases I prefer to not create the workbench (P2 Update) if I have to restart. So I prefer to have an additional step before the StartupLifecycleHandler.

With E4 there are mechanisms that make a language switch in an Eclipse 4 application possible without restart. There is a new message extension in the e4 tooling. I already blogged about how to use it. The next blog posts are in work to explain language switches and migration to this new mechanism.
