The workbench window advisor object is created in response to a workbench window being created (one per window), and is used to configure the window.
An application should declare a subclass of WorkbenchWindowAdvisor and override methods to configure workbench windows to suit the needs of the particular application.
The following advisor methods are called at strategic points in the workbench window's lifecycle (as with the workbench advisor, all occur within the dynamic scope of the call to {@link PlatformUI#createAndRunWorkbench PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench}):
preWindowOpen - called as the window is being opened; use to configure aspects of the window other than actions barspostWindowRestore - called after the window has been recreated from a previously saved state; use to adjust the restored windowpostWindowCreate - called after the window has been created, either from an initial state or from a restored state; used to adjust the windowopenIntro - called immediately before the window is opened in order to create the introduction component, if any.postWindowOpen - called after the window has been opened; use to hook window listeners, etc.preWindowShellClose - called when the window's shell is closed by the user; use to pre-screen window closings | |
