Note that the workbench advisor object is created in advance of creating the workbench. However, by the time the workbench starts calling methods on this class, PlatformUI.getWorkbench is guaranteed to have been properly initialized.
If you wanted to perform any system startup checks please look into overriding the UDIGApplication or UDIGStartup in addition to this class.
Most of the structure of the UDIGApplication is dictated by the Eclipse User Interface Guidelines; we have had to supplement this advice in a few places in order to document the conventions we are following when working with spatial content.
If you are used to Eclipse RCP development you fill find that everything is normal; our main Editor (ie MapEditor) is *modal* and changes what it is up to based on the current tool. This results in the contents of the Edit menu changing a bit more often then what you are used to when working with a Text editor (where the only kind of content is selected text). @author Richar Gould, Refractions Research @version $Revision: 1.9 $
