I'm working on a plugin that adds Java annotation processing to the JDT. I
need a way to initialize my plugin and register some listeners. Ideally I
would do this at the same time that the JDT is loaded, since this
functionality is only useful in the context of Java but it is potentially
needed any time a Java file is compiled.
Is there a particular extension point that I should extend, to hook JDT
initialization? So far I haven't found anything that looks right.

Thanks, Tobias.
However, maybe I'm confused? I thought that BundleActivator#start would get
called when the plugin is loaded; but that it does not itself *cause* the
plugin to be loaded. In other words, if plugin B depends on plugin A,
plugin B is still not going to get loaded until plugin A actually makes a
call to it for some reason.
Am I wrong about that? Does merely declaring a dependency cause my plugin
to be loaded whenever the plugin it depends on is loaded?
If I'm not wrong, then my question remains: what should I extend, in order
to get my plugin to be loaded when the JDT is initialized?
