ECF start

Identifier:
org.eclipse.ecf.start

Since:
2.0.0M4

Description:
ECF Core Start Extension Point. This extension point (org.eclipse.ecf.start) allows extensions to run upon ECF core bundle startup. Note that extensions will be run when the ECF core bundle (ID: org.eclipse.ecf) is started by the runtime, not necessarily upon platform startup.

Examples:
Here is an example usage of this extension point:

<extension
      point="org.eclipse.ecf.start">
   <run
         class="org.eclipse.ecf.example.collab.start.CollabStart"/>
</extension>

<extension
      point="org.eclipse.ecf.start">
   <run
         class="org.eclipse.ecf.example.collab.start.CollabStart" asynchronous="true"/>
</extension>

Note that the CollabStart class must implement the org.eclipse.ecf.start.IECFStart interface. Here's an example implementation class:

public class CollabStart implements IECFStart {

 public IStatus run(IProgressMonitor monitor) {
     ...
 }

}
