Hi,
In an RCP application I am building I have to check for the existence of a
resource and if it does not exist display a dialog to the user to select one
from the file system. If the user fails to select a valid resource, i.e.
they press Cancel, then I want to exit the application. In this case the
workbench should never be instantiated.
Any suggestions on how to implement this use case?
Thanks,
Joel

The first is a very interesting idea, I will give it whirl. The second, i.e.
using a fragment, doesn't actually solve my issues.
Thanks,
Joel

Does
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().close();
do what you want?
