Hello,

I am writing an eclipse plug-in.
Is there some init method / some other place where I can add some code
when eclipse launches and before start() method of my plug-in class gets
called?

Thanks.

What are you seeking to do? What is wrong with using the start() method
of your plug-in or another plug-in of yours?

In Eclipse, there is the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point that can
be used to initialize things when the workbench is brought up, but I
discourage people from using this. The problem is that people think they
have the most important plug-in in the world when in reality, they
should play nicely with everyone else.

Cheers,

~ Chris
