Expeditor Extention Point

My goal is to find an expeditor extension point for a java plugin where I can launch a notes application and give it focus in the notes client. Is there a suitable extension point?

I started with the eclipse extension point - org.eclipse.ui.startup, but had to set timers, or put the thread to sleep to wait for notes to load in the meantime. I would like an expeditor extension point because it needs to be very ‘precise’ when the notes application is called to load. I discovered there’s only one UI thread. I was told of a backgroung jobs thread which I may be able to tack onto, but dont know how tap into it?

I’ve also looked into non-plugin solutions like adding the application to ‘startup’ folder in the ‘more bookmarks’ folder in the launch menu, but am not sure how then to give the application focus?

Cheers

I tried using a ‘Job’ with a primary purpose to open a notes application at startup. The UI thread is busy initialising and loading the notes client, so the job cant execute. I think the job patiently waits until the UI thread can process the job’s request.
