Previously, the login prompt was part of the App Factory perspective
startup process. During the perspective loading, if there are saved
credentials, it tries to authenticate automatically. Else, it displays the
login prompt. Thats how it worked before.

Since Eclipse loads last opened perspective on startup, login prompt
interrupts startup in the second second scenario.

During the meeting, it was agreed that automatic authentication should be
removed and  saved credentials should only be used to re-populate login
window.

To overcome interrupts to developer studio startup (refer to 3rd point in
meeting notes), it was decided to unlink login prompt from App Factory
perspective startup.

As a suggestion,  we can use some kind of pop-up text ("click here to
login") upon perspective loading to indicate users about the login button.

Thanks.
