My application uses a TrayIcon which is wrapped around the call to
PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(). When the user choose to Exit the
application (from File->Exit, which is the IWorkbenchAction from the
ActionFactory), I call Display.readAndDispatch() until the MenuItems for
Open or Exit on the TrayIcon are pressed. If Open is pressed then i
call PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench() again.
One key point is that I create a new Display from PlatformUI and use a
new WorkbenchAdvisor each time PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(),
otherwise more issues arise.
The only problem i am experiencing is with my Jobs on subsequent
createAndRunWorkbench() calls .. while they do execute correctly, they
do not appear in the ProgressView, nor do they display progress
information in a dialog.
Does anyone have insight onto calling PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench()
multiple times? Or a better way to hide the workbench with the ability
to retrieve it from a Tray Icon?
I have noted that the ProgressManager object is the same through both
launches of the Workbench.

When you want to implement a tray icon, that shows up, if the user
closes the window you can override the preWindowShellClose() in your
WorkbenchWindowAdvisor:
@Override
public boolean preWindowShellClose() {
final boolean[] res = new boolean[] { true };
this.fMinimizeFromClose = true;
getWindowConfigurer().getWindow().getShell().notifyListeners (SWT.Iconify,
new Event());
res[0] = false;
this.fMinimizeFromClose = false;
return res[0];
}
