I'm adding eclipse.platform to the newsgroups list for this message, because
what you're asking about is a Platform question, unrelated to JDT.
In general, a plug-in will be loaded as soon as a resource within it is
accessed, for instance, as soon as a class is loaded. The Eclipse-LazyStart
option affects this. You didn't say what the relationship is between the
editor you're talking about and the plug-in you're talking about, so it's
hard to say more: for instance, are you talking about the plug-in that
implements the editor, or some other plug-in?
It is also possible to extend the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point, to
force your plug-in to be loaded during Eclipse startup. This is generally a
bad idea and almost always unnecessary, and probably not the solution for
your problem.
Can you say more about the problem you are trying to solve? For instance,
what kind of "configuration" are you talking about; does it require UI? Is
it a one-time action or does it need to happen every time the plug-in's
functionality is used? What kind of functionality does the plug-in provide?

Thank you very much.
I am just developing a plug-in only for java editor, which is some thing
like content assistant.
That's to say ,when the java editor is typed some special characters
such as '#',it popups some proposals.
So I need to register the auto-activation-character for such '#' before
the editor is used.
It's a one-time action.
By the way,I override the method:
public char[] getCompletionProposalAutoActivationCharacters().
But it cannot be loaded when I need it.I hava to use a key sequence to
trigger it now.I think it's terrible.
So I want it launched when the java editor is activated.That's the problem.
Thanks again.

Where? And how did you install your processor? The activation characters
are a user preference and hence you should not modify it behind their back.
