There is an IWindowCloseHandler interface for this. If you set it in your window's context then it will be queried when the close button is clicked on. Returning 'false' will prevent SWT from closing the window.

There is a life cycle manager with which you can annotate with methods with the @PostContextCreate annotation during startup. Though I'm not sure if this will satisfy your use case.
