Eclipse: How is it catching the windows shutdowm messages so well? [message #93347]

Hello all, I've been (unsuccessfully) poking around the Eclipse source to
find where it is handling the shutdown messages from Windows. I'm looking
because an SWT application we've written is only doing the
Runtime.getRuntime.addShutdownHook() call, and that's just not reliably
being called for Windows shutdown.
Eclipse on the other hand doesn't let windows shut down without prompting
the user to save dirty files.
Does anyone know where this code lurks inside Eclipse?

Thanks

Found the answer in bug 13622. The undocumented SWT.Close event.
