First of all, you can use Display.asyncExec() to run a job on the UI thread.
Second, Eclipse does not allow for specifying particular ordering for
plugin activation. It is designed to be loosely coupled and
lazy-loading; ordering of plugins does not agree with those goals.
If you are building an RCP as opposed to just plugins that can be
installed into any Eclipse, there are some options to trigger
authentication at the "beginning," but it is not clear if that is what
you are doing.

Hi,
With 3.5 M5 you can set start levels.
see http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.5M5- 200902021535/eclipse-news-M5.html
May be it was available before and the enhancement for M5 provides only a GUI, I don't know.
Regards,
Mariot
