Hi!

What is the best to way to make a plugin that registers a selection
listener in a view from another plugin just as it starts?

Note that I want this plugin to start imediatly afert the workbench
starts, but i cannot register the selection listener in the start() or
earlyStart() methods since there is no SelectionService yet.

Cheers,
André

Workbench provide a listener which provide event when workbench window
opening. Using this, you can make delayed activator.

These are codes of mine. So remember, It is not given from eclipse, so
you may can't trust this method.

Plugin Activator codes:

public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
super.start(context);

this.dynamicStateInitializer =
new DynamicCommandStateManager(getWorkbench());

dynamicStateInitializer.activate();
plugin = this;
}

DynamicCommandStateManager.activate():

public final void activate() {
IWorkbenchWindow window = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();

// What if workbench is ready, just activating now.
if (window != null) {
this.window = window;
_activate();
}

// If there is no Workbench window,
// register listener which will acitvate later.
else {
workbench.addWindowListener(delayedActivator);
}
}
